Deactivate debug mode on Vmware Workstation 6 Beta
If you are running Vmware Beta you must have notice that VMware Workstation 6.0 Beta is too slow. I knew that the main reason for the latter is due to the fact that the beta runs in debug mode. When you boot-up a VM a POP-up message informs you that debug mode can’t be turned off.
All you have to do is to exchange the bin-debug folder with the bin folder in the directory where you installed VMware Workstation. Rename the bin-debug folder first, for example, to bin-debug.back, and then copy the bin folder to bin-debug. When you boot-up a VM, you won’t get the message anymore, informing you that VMware Workstation runs in debug mode.
root@LOCAL:/usr/lib/vmware$ mv bin-debug bin-debug.bak
root@LOCAL:/usr/lib/vmware$ cp -R bin bin-debug
root@LOCAL:/usr/lib/vmware$ ls -la /usr/lib/vmware

In case you find a bug and want to help VMware solve this problem, you can enable debug mode by exchanging the bin-debug folder again.
If anyone tries with symlinks and works, please, leave a comment.
