Modifying the DOS System and NetWare Client Configuration Files

Modifying the DOS system and NetWare Client configuration files requires you to edit the CONFIG.SYS, STARTNET.BAT, and NET.CFG files with an ASCII text editor.

Modifying the CONFIG.SYS File

Modify the CONFIG.SYS file with an ASCII text editor to set the LASTDRIVE variable to Z for the NetWare DOS Requester™ software.

For example, to use the Novell® DOS™ 7 System Editor at the command line to edit the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory, you would type

EDIT C:\CONFIG.SYS <Enter>

2Set the LASTDRIVE variable to Z by adding the following line to the file:

LASTDRIVE = Z

3Save your changes and exit the ASCII text editor.
