SLES 10? Risky business, Jane.
I've been told that someone here testing the SLES10 beta version found that
the NetView installation script hangs, but I don't know any helpful
details, nor do I know whether creating the file /tmp/.noNVPrereqCheck will
enable it to go forward. I also don't know whether they tried in
installing the pdkshell we've shipped in the past. All I know is that the
official response was that we aren't ready to begin exploring this until
after FP05 ships. That, as always, is subject to change.

Hi Dave,
As Mark says, I would NOT recommend SuSE 9.1 Professional for a
production environment - use SLES 9, which IS supported. My SuSE 9.1
Professional is probably the best tested system I have but it is still
not strictly supported.
The next jolly comes later this month when I need to upgrade my SuSE 9.1
Pro to SuSE 10 Pro - again, it won't be supported for NetView but I need
to move the system for other reasons and this isn't production stuff.
Has anyone tried this??
Cheers,
Jane
