Issues Novell Client for Linux, Cannot novs-kmp-default in YAST
I'm trying to get the Novell Client for Linux 2.0 Sp1 for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2. My kernel is the default kernel.
One of the prerequisites is installing novfs-kmp-default. I tried to follow the installation procedure, but I cannot find the file in YAST. I tried adding the CD as an installation source and the file is still not there.
I search for the novs-kmp-default and it is not there. Since I have to have it installed before I can install the Novell Client for Linux, and I have to have that installed before Console one for linux will work, I'm pretty much stuck until I can find the appropriate file.
Basically, I'm wondering where I can find novfs-kmp-default. I spend about 30 minutes googling it and I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm new to linux, so it would be helpful if, when you give me directions, you at least place links to the step by step.
So, from the documentation(which I've read by the way)
