ISSUE/PROBLEM
Network Applications
Installing applications on NetWare Lite may be different than
installing applications on NetWare. NetWare is, as you know, a
very popular LAN. Many applications have NetWare specific
installation options. These installation options DO NOT apply to
NetWare Lite networks. NetWare Lite is a DOS peer-to-peer
network. If the application being installed has network specific
installations then "Other networks.." or "DOS peer-to-peer
network" or the like, should be selected. DO NOT select NetWare
or Novell installation options. See Appendix B in the
documentation for more details about using NetWare Lite with
NetWare.
In general, some consideration should be given when installing
applications. If the application requires configuration
information at the time it is installed, then consideration
should be given to which CLIENTs (machines) will use the
application. For example, say application TESTAPP.EXE is being
installed and it asks what kind of monitor will be used with this
application. Suppose that the machine you are sitting on has a
VGA screen but no other machines on the network have VGA screens.
If you were to select VGA then when this application is run from
across the network from an CGA screen, it may not function
properly. We have no specific guidelines on this subject, as a
general solution may not be possible. This is a general problem
with configuration of applications on a network.
