Go into "System Settings">"Packages" and install "Development Tools" and "Kernel Development", then you should be able to install VMware. You will need a patch after you install though. It will run without the patch but you will get an error when you exit VMware. Also there is a bug because of some changes RedHat did in the new kernel that can cause VMware to eat 100% of the CPU and not be too friendly about giving it up. There is a workaround for that as well. I can help you with the two issues if you get VMware successfully installed.

At the beginning of the install try and run the "CD Verification". It might be possible that it is a bad CD. Another thing you can do is flip through the virtual consoles when it get's to that error and see if the disk is indeed full up. Also does your host drive have enough disk space for the file system to be able to grow to the size that you set it to?
