Cheers i am just downloading NetBackup_6.5_Linux2.4.tar.gz  from the 
fileconnect site after getting a serial number from the project manager.

Issue is i only need the client software, so am a bit unsure how or what 
needs installing as i have always pushed software out from unix master 
or media servers before.

I'm assuming getting the linux tar file is the master server software 
but gives the option to install client only? Question then is do i 
assume i dont need the 6.5_CLIENTS1,2 or 3 tars, plus the patches from 
the ftp site for linux suggest i need the CLT patch as a prerequisite, 
but i've only installed these on masters before and updated clients. 
With the master being windows i'm a bit stuck.

I'm trying to read documentation but as you probably know it sends you 
all over the place referencing diff docs etc.

Cheers
