This package installs VMWare tools v4.0 on Endian Firewall 2.4 with kernel 2.6.27.19-72.e25PAE

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZEV8WKVQ
It has precompiled drivers for PAE kernel (I don't have normal sources, only PAE), you don't need any extra package (neither gcc nor any devel package)  Cool.

Steps to install:

1-Upgrade your Endian firewall. On console run the following command: efw-upgrade
Select 1) Production (or 2, it doesn't matter)
About the username you must register on Endian.com

2-Once upgraded, change kernel to kernel-PAE: smart install kernel-PAE Say Y to the question
3-Reboot your system with reboot
4-Check that the kernel is now 2.6.27.19-72.e25PAE, by using the command: uname -r
5-Copy the file EFW_2.4_VMWareTools-4.0.0-PAE.tgz to your firewall, the easiest way is with WinSCP
6-Unzip the file, either with WinSCP File->Custom Commands->Untar or using the command  tar -xvf EFW_2.4_VMWareTools-4.0.0-PAE.tgz
7-Go to the directory called vmware-tools-distrib: cd vmware-tools-distrib
8-Run the installer: ./vmware-install.pl Press Enter to any question. It should install the tools correctly.
9-Run the startup fix: ./fix-startup.sh
10-Run the NIC driver update: ./fix-nic.sh
11-Reboot with reboot
12-Check that VMWare tools are installed and running, via your VMWare client or using the command /etc/init.d/vmware-tools status
13-Enjoy
