The output of the bug would be helpful, as would details on what you where doing

and the second issue is how to complete the VMware-Tools installation,i know that the linux distro needs the c compiler,matchs the kernel-source with my actual kernel version and the make compiler command,but i don't know how to get it,is it possible to use the dvd like a resource ? ,

Code: Select all

# equo update

Code: Select all

# equo install app-emulation/vmware-modules x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware

if anyone knows something i will really appreciate it, i'm so stuck,i really want to use this distro a little bit more.
Tx.
