NetWare Client Installation Overview
Welcome to the Novell NetWare installation program.
NETWARE CLIENT FOR OS/2
NetWare Client for OS/2 workstation software enables OS/2 workstations to
access NetWare servers. After you install NetWare Client for OS/2, you can
connect to a NetWare network and perform basic network tasks.
o Supports both NetWare 3 and NetWare 4 servers
o Offers Remote Program Load (RPL) workstation access
o Supports DOS/MS Windows global and private sessions
o Supports VLM Boot DOS Session
o Supports ODINSUP
NETWARE SERVER FOR OS/2
NetWare Server for OS/2 provides device drivers that allow the NetWare 4
server software to run on an OS/2 computer. NetWare Server for OS/2 runs as a
parallel operating system to OS/2. Processing time is split between OS/2 and
NetWare. You can set up the OS/2 side of the computer as an application
server, an application client, or both.
NetWare Server for OS/2 is also compatible with computers using IBM Extended

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 32. Help for Copying OS/2 Files for Remote Workstation Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Remote Workstation Installation
Workstations that don't have hard disks can boot remotely with the remote
program load (RPL) files.
To remote boot a workstation you must copy the OS/2 and RPL files to one or
more NetWare servers. To determine which file servers need these files you must
know what type of BOOT PROM is installed on the remote workstations.
If the BOOT PROM is the older style these files must be copied to each server
on the local network which will respond to a get nearest server request. If
the BOOT PROM is the new enhanced style only servers running RPL.NLM need these
files.
You should also define each remote workstation and username on each server. You
can do these steps separately.
Because all files on your C: drive are copied from the hard disk on this
workstation, be sure the root of the C: drive contains only files you want
copied to the network. OS/2 must be installed on the C: drive on this
workstation.
NOTE: You must install remote files and define workstations on ALL servers
connected to the workstations' local network.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 33. Help for Copying RPL Files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Copy RPL Files
Select this option for copying the remote boot files to the servers you
specified.
Remote boot workstations need these files to gain initial access to the
network.
See the NetWare Client for OS/2 manual for more information about what files
are copied.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 34. Help for Copying OS/2 Files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Copy OS/2 Files
WARNING!!! You are about to copy all files on the C: drive to each of the file
servers you have selected.
* Be sure all unneeded files have been deleted from this drive. The OS/2
system files can use 30 MB or more disk space. Unneeded files will use up even
more disk space.
* Be sure NetWare Client for OS/2 files were installed to the default
C:\NETWARE directory.
If you want to copy the files to each server you've selected, choose "OK" and
continue with the installation procedure.
If you don't want to copy the files, choose "OK" and then "Cancel."
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 35. Help for Selecting the Type of BOOT PROM in the Target Workstation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select the Type of BOOT PROM in the Target Workstation
Choose the type of Boot PROM in the workstation which will be remote booting.
There are two types of Boot PROMs.
One is the old PROMs found in older NE1000, NE2000, and NE2 cards. These PROMs
have an embedded dedicated IPX driver in them and use the GetNearestServer call
to locate the remote boot file server.
The other is the new enhanced Boot PROMs. Boot PROMs found on IBM network cards
and newer Novell cards have this type. If you are unsure contact your card
manufacturer. These PROMs have an embedded ODI driver in them and use IBM's
FindFrame technology to locate the remote boot file server. Only file servers
running RPL.NLM respond to the FindFrame requests.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 36. Help for Adding Remote Boot Workstation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Add Remote Boot Workstation
NOTE: You can move this help window to another location on your screen.

Share NetWork Board Between Client and Server
If you want NetWare Client for OS/2 to communicate with NetWare Server for
OS/2, you need to share a network board between the client and server.
If there is only one network board in the computer, NetWare Server for OS/2
will control it. The only way NetWare Client for OS/2 can use the network board
is by sharing it with the server.
Network board sharing is accomplished when a special sharing LAN driver
(LANSHARE.SYS, TOKENSHR.SYS, or TOKENLNK.SYS) is loaded in NetWare Client for
OS/2, and when a the LAN driver for the installed board and a sharing LAN
driver are loaded in NetWare Server for OS/2.

Help for Specifying the NET.CFG File
The NET.CFG file stores configuration information for NetWare Client for OS/2,
the ODI drivers, the protocols, and NetWare Server for OS/2.
Choose "Edit" to edit or create the NET.CFG file.
NOTE: The directory containing the NET.CFG file must be found in DPATH in your
CONFIG.SYS file. If you type a directory other than the root, that directory
will be added to DPATH in your CONFIG.SYS file.
