What version of Fedora are you trying to install? Fedora doesn't seem to be an officially supported OS by VMware, but there's really only one extra step to get it running fine.

When creating the virtual machine choose "Other Linux 2.6.X kernel" or "Other Linux 2.6.X kernel 64-bit" as the OS type depending on your version.

Once Fedora is installed, open a Terminal and login as root (type "su", press Enter then type the root password you set during setup) and use the following command: yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc mkinitrd

Once that command finishes, you may install VMware Tools as normal. If you don't know how to do this, there should be a guide in the help files.

I'm installing this one: Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso

I tryed with 12 also..

Then i start the installation it automaticly detects the OS "fedora", and i cant choose "Other Linux ........" .

I get error at start of installation. Check SS.

do not use"easy install" then - use "I will install later ..." instead

Ah yes, do not use Easy Install. Use the "I will install later" option then follow the instructions I posted in my previous post.
