[ltp] vmware vs RH7.1 on TP i1300

[Ted Lin]

I believe the release notes for vmware 2.0.4 says that 2.4.3 might not 
work. I've been using RH7.1 with 2.4.4 and vmware and it seems to work fine.

 From the rel notes:

Note: Kernel 2.4.3 may not run as a guest because of a networking bug that 
has been fixed in kernel 2.4.4. (A failure would generate a message 
referring to bugNr=4935.)
