You're right, normally you don't need vmware-tools for running FreeBSD as a guest, but: if your host is an ESX server, you need vmmemctl and the vmware-guestd for the livemigration of your virtual machine from one ESX host to another. A while ago, VMware decided to release vmware-tools as open source, maybe someone wants to take a look at it: http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/ > VMWare tools on Linux seem to include a driver that does something with > memory management, but it's not available for FreeBSD. You don't need It is available, it's included in VMware server and also in open-vm-tools (see link above). bye, Uwe _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
