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 L11U02.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 customers with fifteen dollars worth of credit toward on-line services at no charge.
To get the files from Compuserve, follow this procedure:
GO NOVLIB
Once you are in NOVLIB, enter into library one or library ten. Download L11U02.ZIP
(This ZIP file contains the NWLITE updates.)
Note that you must have PKUNZIP.EXE to unzip L11U02.ZIP. If you do not have PKUNZIP.EXE, you can get it from Compuserve. It is located inside of PKZ110.EXE, which is another file which must be downloaded.
To download PKZ110.EXE, create a directory called PKZIP (either on floppy or on your hard drive). Go to library 15 of NOVLIB and download PKZ110.EXE. Then, move PKZ110.EXE into the PKZIP directory. Type PKZ110. PKZ110.EXE will create PKUNZIP.EXE (and other programs which can be used for archiving functions).
Once you have PKUNZIP.EXE, you can unzip L11U02.ZIP. Put L11U02.ZIP into the PKZIP directory. Next, type the following:
PKUNZIP L11U02.ZIP <path where you want the files to be copied to>.
The patch files will be copied to the directory that you specify. We recommend 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 US Mail and will take from four to seven days.
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 L11U02.ZIP file.)
