Vmware-server 2.x on Slackware 13.0

Tried to install vmware-server v2 on slackware 13.0 for hours to no success and then I found this patch and a script (to run the patch) which at first didn’t work for vmware server v2 (since it’s for vmware workstation 6.5.2),
but hey … I delete all uneeded lines (12 lines to be exact, from line 1 to 12), see below :

(that’s the line that I DELETE), save the patch, run the the sh script and … voila .. it works!
Simply execute vmware-config.pl after that then I have vmware-server v2 in my slackware 13.0 machine.

(hint : if you want to try this don’t forget to install linux-pam package too)
