VMware on OpenSuSE - VFS Error

I recently converted my system from SuSE 10.1 to OpenSuSE 10.2. When I upgraded VMware to v5.5.2, I was no longer able to change which ISO file I was using for Knoppix (that's how I discovered it at any rate). Turns out the issue was a little larger than that as something broke the virtual file system (VFS). From the VMware web site (
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=545298) noticed that other people were having the same issue.

Linux Distributions

These are the Linux distributions I've downloaded over time. Most of these are standard ISO files, although some distributions may have additional documentation or MD5 files with them.
As I continue to download them, I will provide links to documentation and the MD5 files.
Shortly, I will place more information about MD5 hashes, on the utilities web page.
Additional information can be obtained from DistroWatch (http://www.distrowatch.com)

Installation of Freesco packages

It’s really not tough, but I always seem to forget how to install a package to Freesco.
Just use the following command from the freesco command line (remember you must be root to do this)

pkg -i pathname

Pathname would be the location of the package, usually in http: format.

For instance, the installation of the Dinjite’s Utils package for 0.3.x would be:

Unfortunately, it needs updating as several components have been upgraded. Never enough time to do everything I want!
