If you're running VMware 4.5.2 (which you should be on recent versions
of Fedora with 2.6.x kernels) you do not need the kernel source to
either install VMware or compile the VMware modules after
installation.  You *do* need to satisfy some extra steps for Fedora
Core 3 because the VMware installer doesn't understand udev, which I
hear will be addressed in VMware 5 (currently in beta).
