Hello, I can't install parallels 4 drivers on my linux distro (backtrack 3, slackware based).

I mounted li-drivers, iso file. When I go via terminal to the media, hdb and write 'sudo sh installation' instalation starts (next, next etc.) but after few seconds it crashes and shows me msg about the error and asked for going to log folder.

Here are those logs... thanks for help.

Installer started. Parallels Tools v.4.0-3846.436123.

It is probably installing everything fine, it is just crapping out on the init script install. Copy /etc/init.d/prltoolsd to /etc/rc.d/rc.prltoolsd, then update rc.0 and rc.M to run /etc/rc.d/rc.prltoolsd with the either 'stop' or 'start' as an argument.

If it has not installed /etc/init.d/prltoolsd then copy it from the parallels tools install disc, it is under the installer directory and is named "prltoolsd.sh."

I am not exactly sure where to place the command in rc.0 and rc.M. In rc.0 I put "/etc/rc.d/rc.prltoolsd stop" right after network shares are unmounted. In rc.M I put ". /etc/rc.d/rc.prltoolsd start" right before the network is initialized.

Have not fully tested everything jsut yet, but the mouse capture & release is working fine.
