VMware Installation Information
______________________________________________________________________________

INSTALLING

The program "install.pl" is capable of doing both installation
and upgrade.  You must be root to run this script. Type

	./install.pl

If you are installing VMware for the first time, the install asks
if you want a default install.  If you answer yes, this script will
install the executables in /usr/local/bin, the manual pages in
/usr/local/man, and the boot-time init scripts in /etc/rc.d.  If
these directories do not exist, they will be created.

If you answer no, this script will prompt for the names of the
installation directories (unless BINDIR, MANDIR, and INITDIR are set).

If you have previously installed VMware, then this script asks
first if you want to upgrade.  If you answer yes, then it will
automatically install VMware into the same directories that were
used in the previous install.

______________________________________________________________________________

UNINSTALLING

To remove an existing installation, run

  	./install.pl uninstall

The uninstall automatically detects the files created by
the previous install and deletes them.
