Preparing to Install or Upgrade the NetWare Client Software

Preparing Client Workstations

If you are upgrading your client software from a previous version of the NetWare Client software, your current workstation hardware and software conﬁguration should be sufﬁcient. In this case, go to “Preparing the NetWare Client Installation Software” to continue preparing for installation.

The following checklist can help you determine what preparations you need to make for installing the NetWare Client software.

•A running copy of Novell DOS™ 7 or later, DR DOS® 5 or later, MS-DOS 3 or later, or PC-DOS 3 or later.

•(Conditional: if using MS Windows) A copy of MS Windows 3.x or Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) 3.11 installed on your client workstation.

•(Optional) If you have DOS and MS Windows client workstations running an IPX.COM file generated by DOSGEN or SHGEN, upgrade your dedicated IPX driver to ODI. See “Upgrading Your IPX Driver to ODI” for instructions.
