You should check/ask at VMWare (you do mean VMWare Workstation is what 
you're installing RH9 on, right?)  You'll get much better help from 
them.  You also didn't say what host OS you're running.

Can you upgrade to version 4.5?  I used RH8 under version 3.x but 
couldn't get RH9 or FC1 to install until I upgraded past version 4.

Used to be that VMWare recommended the text install for RH (you did read 
the VMWare directions, right?)

Seems to me that the VMWare tools get installed after you install the OS 
so they wouldn't interfere with installation.  I could be wrong though.

How many lines of sig was that?  And thanks for the Cisco logo, I 
wouldn't have realized who you worked for otherwise.
