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 (novell-client-1.0-linux-nld9.tar.gz or novell-client-1.0-linux-suse9.3.tar.gz) you download from Novell Downloads. This script can be used to install, 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.
