ISSUE/PROBLEM
NetWare Lite Update Release for v1.1
Novell has released updates which address NetWare Lite issues. These
updates can be obtained through CompuServe or through Novell directly.
Note: It is recommended that all installations of NetWare Lite v1.1
acquire and install all of the files contained in L11U03.ZIP.
CompuServe
A free CompuServe membership can be obtained by dialing (800) 848-8199 in
the U.S. and (614) 457-0802 outside the U.S. (ask for Representative
200). CompuServe will provide NetWare Lite users with fifteen dollars
worth of credit toward online services at no charge.
To get the files from CompuServe, do the follow procedure:
1. Type GO NOVLIB
2. When in NOVLIB, enter into library one or ten.
3. Download L11U03.ZIP. (This ZIP file contains the NetWare Lite
updates.)
Note: You must have PKUNZIP.EXE to unzip L11U03.ZIP. If you do not
have PKUNZIP.EXE, you can get it from CompuServe. It is located
inside PKZ110.EXE, which is another file that must be downloaded.
a. To download PKZ110.EXE, create a directory called PKZIP (either
on floppy diskette or on your hard drive).
b. Go to library 15 of NOVLIB and download PKZ110.EXE.
c. Then, move PKZ110.EXE into the PKZIP directory.
d. Type PKZ110
PKZ110.EXE will create PKUNZIP.EXE (and other programs that can
be used for archiving functions).
4. When you have PKUNZIP.EXE, you can unzip L11U03.ZIP.
5. Put L11U03.ZIP into the PKZIP directory.
6. Next, type the following:
PKUNZIP L11U03.ZIP <path where you want the files to be copied
to>
The patch files will be copied to the directory that you specify.
Novell recommends that you copy them to a floppy diskette. This
way, you will have a copy of the patches in a distinct and
identifiable place.
Novell
If you want the patches but cannot access CompuServe, call Novell at
(801)429-5483 and request the NetWare Lite Patch Disk. It will be sent
to you through U.S. Mail and will take from four to seven days to arrive.
The following is a list of the files that will be sent to you. (Note
that these are the same files that are contained in the L11U03.ZIP file.)
