Preparing to Install or Upgrade the NetWare Client Software
Editing the INSTALL.CFG File
Editing the INSTALL.CFG File
You can customize the installation program software for DOS and MS Windows to suit your particular networking environment. You should edit the [REQUESTER] section of the INSTALL.CFG file before installing the NetWare Client software on multiple client workstations with similar NET.CFG files.
The NET.CFG file is a configuration file that contains section headings and options that deviate from the established defaults of the NetWare Client software. Use entries in the NET.CFG file to change the client workstation’s network environment or configuration.
For more details on how to edit or create a NET.CFG file, see Chapter 2, “NET.CFG Options Reference,” in NetWare Client for DOS and MS Windows Technical Reference.
Modifying the [REQUESTER] section in the INSTALL.CFG File
The INSTALL.CFG file is found on NetWare Client for DOS and MS Windows Disk 1 at the root. The default configuration for the [REQUESTER] section includes a line for the FIRST NETWORK DRIVE and NETWARE PROTOCOL parameters only.
You need to edit the INSTALL.CFG file to add lines for other settings under the NetWare DOS Requester™ option heading.
A sample of the [REQUESTER] section in the INSTALL.CFG file is as follows:
[REQUESTER]
first network drive = f
netware protocol = nds bind
Suggested Modifications to the [REQUESTER] Section
Make the following modifications for your particular network environment when applicable.
