I'm trying to install vmware-tools in gentoo, but it asks me:

"what is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d ... rc6.d) ?"

What should I answer?

You want to specify /etc/init.d because that's where all of the scripts should reside. Then you allocate them to your runlevels with rc-update (if the scripts are supported by Gentoo's utilities) or by hand if not.

that wont work. I tried it once.

just make a dir in /etc/rc.0 - rc.6 and then specify those.
maybe there are other ways of doing that, but when i had that issue this was the faster way of gettingit to install.
