Fedora Core Linux安装VMWare时调整用的脚本

在Fedora Core上安装VMWare for Linux的时候，有时候会出一些问题，比如在执行 vmware-config.pl 的时候报错：

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1907_FC5/build/include

The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel.

即使给了正确的路径，依旧不对。因此，安装的时候不得不每次先去修改vmware的一些文件。为了方便起见，我写了个傻瓜脚本，能够帮助做一些包括打补丁之类的琐碎事情，当然，执行前最好知道自己在做什么：）

这个脚本仅仅是为了方便起见，没有考虑各种情况的检测，所以，事先要做好备份，另外需要注意执行多于一遍的时候，原始文件的备份可能被覆盖掉。虽然说一般不会出什么问题。：）

这个脚本需要root权限执行。

测试过的环境：
