Installing a DOS and Windows Client

DOS and Windows clients share the same installation program. The installation program runs within the DOS environment. The following list describes the prerequisites:

• An IBM PC (or compatible) with an XT, AT, 386, 486, or higher (SX or DX) processor.

• A hard drive or a floppy drive and diskette with the following amount of available disk space:

  • DOS only: 1.2MB

  • DOS and Windows: 4MB

• A network board installed in your client computer.

• Network cabling.

• (Optional) A computer cabled to the network and running Windows 3.1.

  If you are using Windows, close Windows before loading the installation program. The client installation program modifies some Windows files that are used when in Windows.

• At least one UnixWare NetWare Services server installed.

• The appropriate number of diskettes labeled as specified when you created the client diskettes.

1. Exit Windows.

2. Insert the NetWare Client for DOS and Windows Installation Diskette #1 into your diskette drive.

3. Change to the drive containing the installation diskette.

   For example, to install from drive A:, enter
   
   A:

4. Load the installation utility by typing
   
   INSTALL

5. Follow the installation instructions on your screen.

   Default settings for the NetWare Client software should be sufficient for an initial connection. You can do a standard installation with the default settings and configure other options later.

   Use the arrow keys to move between the fields. Press <Enter> to modify a particular field.
