 |
|
| I'm installing vmware and it asked for the location of the inid directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/). I don't have these. I ran search and nothing came up. Shouldn't they be in /etc/rc.d ? /etc/rc.d also doesn't exist. How do i setup these? |

These directories don't exist in Gentoo because Gentoo uses a different type of init system. Check out the Init System docs for more information about how it works.
As far as getting vmware to install, you might be able to fool it by using symlinks that point to /etc/runlevels/default, but that's a total SWAG. Give it a try and, if it works, let us know.

| OK so how do i install vmware. I assume tricking the installer by creating empty dirs will not work and there is no vmware ebuild in portage. |
