This file is used by vmware + to track config choices and it is used in upgrading. By creating this file we make sure + the vmware config tools work and I think you could do a non gentoo package install of + vmware and it would work. + + The vmware-config tool insists on a set of init dirs named rc#.d so they are created in + /etc/vmware/init.d/ . The other option was edit vmware-config.pl . + + VMWare needs some modules loaded so at boot an init script is run that is really just + glue to start the init script supplied from vmware which is at /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware -- cgit v1.2.3-65-gdbad
