Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software

Loading the NetWare Client Software

Loading the NetWare Client Software

Loading the NetWare Client software for DOS and MS Windows client workstations requires you to complete the following procedure.

Procedure

1Ensure that a copy of DOS or MS Windows is set up on each client workstation. See “Setting Up Workstation Software.”

2Ensure that the NetWare Client software files are installed on each client workstation that you want to run DOS or MS Windows.

See “Running the NetWare Client Installation Program” for more information.

3Ensure that all necessary modifications are made to the client workstation configuration files.

See “Installing Client Workstation Files Manually” for more information.

4Reboot each client workstation. (The STARTNET.BAT file loads the necessary files.)

If you decide to downgrade the NetWare Client software from version 1.2 to an earlier version, you must delete the LSL.MSG ﬁle (version 1.18 or later) that was copied to the NetWare Client directory during installation of the 1.2 ﬁles.

The LSL.MSG ﬁle is new to the NetWare Client Kit 1.2. The LSL.COM ﬁle that shipped with earlier versions of the NetWare Client Kit for DOS and MS Windows does not support the LSL.MSG ﬁle.
