well for 2.6.22 you couls also just do a m-a a-i vmware-server-kernel
and a apt-get install vmware-XXX
my problem was with 2.6.24.
I try and do it with apt if possible
If you make a .deb from alien and use dpkg -i, it is as if you are using
apt. The packagemanager knows it is installed. Apt is not magical. It
is a front end to dpkg.
I can't remember how I hit on this method, however I can tell you I
don't like installing *.tar.gz unless I am making a .deb. Using Alien
--with-scripts makes me a .deb. So far in Debian Sid and in Ubuntu 7.10
this method has worked for VMworkstation and VMserver and you don't have
to muck with mod assistant.
