Novell CLIENT FOR LINUX 1.2 - ADMINISTRATION Manual page 23

4 Install the preconfigured settings contained in novell-client-conf-
version_number.platform.rpm using one of the following methods:
• Install manually in a terminal: Enter rpm -i novell-client-conf-
version_number.platform.rpm in a terminal.
• 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.
• 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.
