I am receiving the error below when I try to install Parallel tools for Fedora 13. I've seen other posts with the same error message. Apparently the issue (from reading other posts) is due to lack of support for this particular Linux OS. Does anyone know of a list of supported Linux OS's which I can use instead? Perhaps in earlier version of Fedora? Thanks.

Thanks - I just paid to upgrade to Parallels 5 yesterday. And hours after I bought it they announced Parallels 6. Let's hope they give me a free upgrade to 6 as I've not even installed 5 fully yet!
I think you should be ok: http://www.parallels.com/landingpage/dskd63-4/ http://www.parallels.com/keyfor6/
or Fedora 14 joevt, it doesn’t seem to work for me. Parallels 5, Fedora 14, Tools from v6. see the thread here: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=101895
