bash make_novell-client-conf_rpm
4 Install the preconfigured settings contained in
novell-client-conf-
version_number . platform .rpm
using one of the following methods:
Š
Install manually in a terminal: Enter
rpm -i novell-client-conf-
version_number . platform .rpm
in a terminal.
Š
Install using the ncl_install script: When you launch the
ncl_install
script (located
in
/opt/novell/ncl/bin
or in the directory where you unarchived the Client
download file), it looks for
novell-client-conf-
version_number . platform .rpm
in the
/add-on/novell-client-conf
directory and adds it to the list of RPMs it installs as part of the Client.
Š
Install with the Novell Client using YaST: Add the location of the newly created
novell-client-conf- version_number . platform .rpm
to the list of
installation sources in YaST (add a local directory in the Installation Source option and
point it to the directory containing
novell-client-conf-
version_number . platform .rpm
). When the YaST install runs,
novell-
client-conf- version_number . platform .rpm
is added as one of the RPMs in
the Novell Client selection.
The Novell Client configuration settings on a workstation can be updated at any time
using the YaST method.
The
.conf
files contained in the RPM are copied to the
/etc/opt/novell/ncl
directory, overwriting the files of the same name that already exist there. The installation then
copies the
slp.conf
file to the
/etc
directory, overwriting that file as well.
TIP: Backup copies of the existing files are made in the same directory so that you can revert
to the old files if you need to.
