>Description:
A number of packages which are required in order to run the VMware Server client under NetBSD's linux emulation are missing. I have stuck them into a tar file.

The installer itself needs a couple of hacks to remove the lookup of insmod/modprobe/lsmod/..., which aren't required anyway, since the VMware server is running on a different machine anyway. I will submit this package later.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install VMware Server client
