“Installing the Novell Client Using the YaST Control Center” on page 2
“Installing the Novell Client Using the Installation Script” on page 3
“Upgrading From a Previous Version” on page 4
“Uninstalling the Novell Client for Linux” on page 5
For information on installing a preconfigured version of the Novell Client, see “Using Configuration
Files to Preconfigure the Novell Client” in the Novell Client for Linux Administration Guide.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The Novell Client 2.0 for Linux requires workstations running one of the following:
SUSE®Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP1 (32-bit or 64-bit)
openSUSE 10.2 (32-bit or 64-bit)
IMPORTANT: For this release, you should not install the 32-bit version of the Novell Client 2.0 for
Linux onto a 64-bit operating system. If you do so, you will lose the ability to log into the GUI
credential provider. You will see the error message, “Authentication Failed,” and will be unable to
log in.
If you want to use the precompiled Novell Client for Linux Virtual File System provided with the
distribution, make sure one of the following packages is installed on your workstation before you
install the Novell Client for Linux. Which package is installed depends on your kernel type.
novfs-kmp-default
novfs-kmp-smp
novfs-kmp-bigsmp

If you want to compile the Novell Client for Linux Virtual File System from sources provided with
the Novell Client for Linux, make sure the following packages are installed on your workstation
before you install the Novell Client for Linux:
gcc
kernel-source
make
For information on using YaST to install packages, see “Installing the Required Packages” in the
Novell Client for Linux Administration Guide.
INSTALLING THE NOVELL CLIENT USING THE YAST CONTROL CENTER
Installing the Novell Client for Linux using YaST requires the following steps:
1. Installing the Novell Client for Linux Packages
2. Starting or Restarting the Novell Client for Linux
Installing the Novell Client for Linux Packages

4Select the appropriate Add-on Product source (such as CD, DVD, or Local Directory), then
click Next.

11 Start the Novell Client for Linux.
See “Starting or Restarting the Novell Client for Linux” on page 3.
For more information, see “Using the Novell Client Tray Application” in the Novell Client for Linux
User Guide.
Starting or Restarting the Novell Client for Linux
Use any of the following methods to start or restart the Novell Client for Linux:
Restart the Linux Workstation: This is the best way to ensure that the Novell Client for
Linux is completely restarted.
Manually Start the Novell Client: Open a terminal window and log in as root. From the
/opt directory, enter one of the following commands:
New Installations: /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control start
This command loads all the Novell Client for Linux daemon modules.
Updates: /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control restart
This command stops and then reloads all the Novell Client for Linux daemon modules.
If either of these commands displays any errors, restart the Linux machine.
In addition, /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control status shows whether the NCL drivers
are loaded properly or not, and /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control stop stops all Novell
Client for Linux daemon modules.
INSTALLING THE NOVELL CLIENT USING THE INSTALLATION SCRIPT
An installation script called ncl_install is provided in the Novell Client for Linux .tar.gz file
you downloaded from Novell Downloads (http://download.novell.com). This script can be used to
install, update, verify installation, display information, and uninstall the Novell Client directly from a
command prompt using documented RPM commands. This same script is copied to the /opt/
novell/ncl/bin directory during the installation of the Client for later use in verifying or
uninstalling the Client.
Run these commands from the directory where you unarchived the Client download file or from
/opt/novell/ncl/bin after the initial installation. You must be logged in as root to run these
commands.
