Virtualize NBO2

well, what do you know... it does work

after finding the following:

3.11 VMWare
NBO 2.0.5 installs on VMWARE ESX and GSX. There are no known issues.

in http://www.novell.com/documentation/...readme205.html

I thought I would give it a go.

Installed NBO v2.0.5 from the ISO into VMware Server 2.0 without issue,
unlocked the console and installed the VMware tools and we are off and
running

btw without VMware tools installed we had 100% cpu issues, as with other NW
VMs
