VMWare Fusion guests with a static IP

The article that I followed to get a static IP for VMWare fusion guests seems to have been removed, so in the name of preserving this knowledge I'm reproducing the salient parts here.

Great article! I do have one issue with one of my guest VMs.

host Fedora 11 { <-- PROBLEM hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:8b:a4:4f; fixed-address 172.16.130.20; }

PROBLEM: when issuing the sudo "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh" --restart command it does not like the space in the guest VM's name. I have tried single and double quotes but they still cause errors, any suggestions on how to fix?

Thanks, ricbax
