General TC > Tiny Core on Virtual Machines
Anyone succeeded with installing vmware on TC?

Just noticed the following:

But no luck yet locating those vmware player installation instructions. Any hints what to search for, what is likely to appear in the instructions?
danielibarnes:
Someone tried, but we never heard from him again. I'll give it a shot with the latest player and write up some instructions.

If TC is not a debian derivative, was that guy wrong in copying directories from debian?
Vmware site says run-level related directories the installer is asking for should be just made and left empty.
danielibarnes:
No, the installer expects certain directories to be present, but they are not required. I didn't copy them myself, I just created empty directories and it seemed happy with that.

Any luck?
I tried the instructions with vmware player 2.5.4 and created those empty directories. Installed ok but on execution it says something about Unicode.c. You get the same error? Is it source code from TC or vmware?
