Minimal Debian 4.0r0 install on VMWare

Did the install and unchecked all uses except 'base system'. To install the VMware tools, had to add the following packages

psmisc - for killall
linux-headers-`uname -r`
gcc (with deps binutils, cpp, cpp-4.1, gcc-4.1 libssp0)
make

Accepting the defaults for vmware-config-tools seemed to do the trick. Except for the HGFS module - that didn't load on reboot.
