ISSUE/PROBLEM
Installing a Client and Server
The computer you are installing NetWare Lite on must have a hard disk to be configured as a server. Do not simply copy the files off of the original (or backup) diskettes. To install NetWare Lite and configure the computer as both server and client perform the following steps. Note that, depending on your current setup, the installation program may skip some of the steps.
1. Insert the diskette labeled "program" into the a: (or b:) drive.
2. Type a:install and press enter.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight "Make this machine a client and a server" and press enter.
4. Type in a name for the server and press enter.
5. FILES must be set in the CONFIG.SYS file for the server to run. The default value shown should work in most situations. If you know that you need to use a different value answer no to the "files" message and edit CONFIG.SYS appropriately.
6. BUFFERS must be set in the CONFIG.SYS file for the server to run. The default value shown should work in most situations. If you know that you need to use a different value answer no to the "buffers" message and edit CONFIG.SYS appropriately.
7. Insert the diskette labeled "driver" into the a: drive and press esc.
8. Use the arrow keys to highlight the type of network card in your machine and press enter. If you are not sure which card to choose refer to the hardware documentation to determine what type of card you have or which interface it is compatible with.
9. A window showing default settings for your card is displayed. You may change these if necessary by highlighting the item and pressing enter, then highlighting the correct value and pressing enter. Refer to the hardware documentation if you are not sure what the settings should be. When the settings are correct press esc.
10. Answer yes or no to the "path" message. Note that if the C:\NWLITE directory is not in the DOS path you will have to CD to it in order to use the net utility. You will also have to include the path for every net command executed at the command line.
11. Answer yes or no to the "lastdrive" message. Note that LASTDRIVE should be set to g: or higher to use the NET utility. If you answer no you must edit the CONFIG.SYS file to include a LASTDRIVE command and reboot before you can use any net command.
12. NetWare Lite is now installed. Press esc to exit the installation program.
