[sles-beta] Beta 5 and VMware-tools

[Joe Doupnik]

     True, yet we don't know what is going on. Our concern is plainly 
that the situation might be permanent rather than a passing phase in the 
development cycle. What did change though was the SLES side of the 
equation, whether that be in the upstream kernel or in SLES proper or 
just a bug.
     Presumably SUSE talks with VMware about such things.
     Thanks,
     Joe D.
