SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The Novell Client 2.0 SP2 for Linux requires workstations running:
SUSE® Linux Enterprise 11 (32-bit or 64-bit)
IMPORTANT: Do not install the 32-bit version of the Novell Client 2.0 SP2 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.
NOTE: To install Novell Client on SLES 11, you must ensure that you obtain the gtk 1.x package from the SLED 11 installation media as gtk 1.x is a prerequisite for Novell Client and is not packaged with SLES 11.
