I found the answer to the "AIO NOT_DEFINED" problem. Go to VMware's news server. The answer is there:

http://news://news.vmware.com/

I haven't fixed mine yet but I see there is a fix.

Here's the AIO fix that worked perfectly for me:

Download:
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update20.tar.gz,
untargz it, and run runme.pl included in the package as root. It should take care of all your troubles.

Heh, it's really cool to get up in the morning, check out the forum and see that you found a solution to my problem   ;)  
Thanks a lot void main, I checked the VMWare site (not the news server) but found no reference at all to the "AIO not defined" problem.
I'll download that patch when I get back from work today.

Also, I installed Quake 2 on my Win98 guest OS in VMWAre and ran it in 800*600 full screen, it was ugly and kinda slow because it ran in software mode but it was playable   :D

voidmain:
Yeah, the VMware news server is exponentially more helpful than their web site. If you have an issue with VMware, chances are it'll be on the news server and there will be a solution.

As far as your Quake under VMware thing, I would personally not run it in VMware. I run that stuff native. Graphics intensive Games under Windows under VMware are not really what VMware was designed for, although like you said they may play. It's *perfect* for running things like Office, Image editing, database, etc.

Ice-9:
Okay, but I wanted to see if Quake would actually run  :D
The whole Win2K/RH dual boot and installing Win98 in a VMWare session was purely for testing purposes anyway, it would be kinda pointless to install Win98 in VMWare while I have a more functional Windows (Win2K) already on another drive.
BUT, now I also know that VMWare is not gonna take care of the "gaming problem", as long as I can't get the games running in Linux perfectly I will need a Windows partition or leave the games behind.
I found that since I began tinkering with Linux I play a lot less anyway, but it feels good to play a Clanwar or a few duels every few days and frag the hell out of your opponents   :D
