I have recently began using Fedora 6 on my laptop and on one of my pc's at home because I'm so tired of windows and want to expand my knowledge. Because this is new territory for me, I'm having issues. I have had two problems I don't know how to solve.

One is that I was trying to install vmware for my laptop and after I did, I went to the terminal and tried to configure the program. I got an error and was instructed to reinstall it. I tried to reinstall but I keep getting the same message of a missing file. I wanted to know how to completely remove vmware so that I can try again.

The next question is for my pc. After I finished installing and updating everything, for some reason I am having problems booting correctly. I guess with linux you have two or three different kernels to utilize, but the main kernel it normally loads won't boot. It seems to freeze in the very beginning. If I use the alternate one, I can get in just fine. Is there something that I can do to repair the other kernel? Am I even correct in saying that that is the Kernel?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

To remove VMware you need the VMware own installer to assist you if there isn't a function within the installed version. Never look at it myself how to get rid of it but VMware is just a program within Windows (if it is its host, as VMware has another version using a Linux as the host).

If one of the kernel that doesn't work with your hardware then I wouldn't repair it when other alternatives are available. Just update Fedora when a release is out. For all we know there may be bugs inside or hardware conflicts or the kernel may be for a different chipset. To recompile the kernel is a task beyond a user claiming to be new in Linux territory. In general you get a new kernel release/update quicker than repairing it.
