Installing an OS/2 client

Review the following checklist to make sure you are prepared to install the NetWare Client software for OS/2. The following list describes the prerequisites:

• An IBM PC (or compatible) with a 386 or 486 (SX or DX) processor. OS/2 v2.x operates only with 386 (SX and DX) processors and above because of its 32-bit architecture.

• A hard disk with 4.5MB of storage.

• A network board installed in your client computer.

  ---

  NOTE: If you specify an interrupt for the network board that is already being used by another device, you can still install the network board, but the network software will not run successfully.

  ---

• Network cabling.

• At least one UnixWare NetWare Services server installed.

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

1. Start the OS/2 client and open an OS/2 full screen or window.

2. Insert the WSOS2_1 diskette into the diskette drive.

3. Change to the drive where you inserted the diskette and enter
   
   INSTALL

4. From the Installation menu, select ``Requester on Client''.

5. Follow the screen prompts and the online help to finish installing the Requester.

   Because this computer is being installed to get you started with the network setup, you can do a standard installation with the default settings and configure other options later.

   During installation, a directory called NETWARE is created for the Requester files on the drive you booted OS/2 from.

6. Exit the installation program by selecting ``Exit'' from the Installation menu.

7. Remove the diskette from the drive, and then select the OS/2 shutdown feature to reboot the computer.

   For your modifications or new installation to take effect, you need to reboot your computer.
