What Happens during Installation

NOTE:The user interface for the NETWARE.DRV file is the NWUSER.EXE file.

[boot.description]

The line network.drv= is replaced by network.drv=NetWare (vx.x).

If you are installing for Windows for Workgroups (WFWG), the following modification is made:

The line secondnet.drv= is replaced by secondnet.drv=Novell NetWare (workstation shell 4.0 and above).

This notifies MS Windows Setup of the NetWare device version you are using.

[Network]

If you are installing for Windows for Workgroups (WFWG), the following modification is made:

The line winnet= is replaced by winnet=novell/00040000.

This specifies the type of network and version used with WFWG.

The line multinet= is appended to appear as multinet=NetWare4.

This identifies other network operating systems running on the network.

The line network=dosnet is replaced by network=*vnetbios;vipx.386;vnetware.386.

This specifies the type of network used with MS Windows 386 enhanced mode.

The line TimerCriticalSection= is replaced by TimerCriticalSection=1000.

NetWare uses this setting to ensure that network traffic on your client runs smoothly.

The line OverlappedIO= is replaced by OverlappedIO=OFF.

This specifies that virtual machines cannot issue a request to read or write to a disk until any previous read and write requests have been completed.

The line PSPIncrement= is replaced by PSPIncrement=5.
