8.2.1.1Creating Network Installation Startup Disks

You can create network installation startup disks for the following network operating systems and clients:

● Windows 95/98

● Windows NT

● Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11

● Network Client for MS-DOS, version 3.0

By default, Network Client Administrator gives you the option to create network installation startup disks for Windows 95/98 and Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS.

Before you can create network installation startup disks for Windows 95/98 or Windows for Workgroups, you first must create a folder on the installation server in the shared clients folder (/var/opt/lanman/shares/msclient by default) and then copy to it the appropriate source files. Windows 95/98 and Windows NT files can be copied from their CDs. Windows for Workgroups files can be copied from their diskettes.

Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server network installation startup disks can be created only for x86 computers and not for Alpha, MIPS, or Power PC computers.
