Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software
What Happens during Installation
DOS and NetWare Configuration Files Are Created or Modified
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
If you allowed the installation program to modify your system configuration
files, then the previous version of your client workstation’s CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT files are automatically saved as CONFIG.BNW and
AUTOEXEC.BNW. If these specific .BNW files already exist, then they are
overwritten.
If no previous versions of the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files
existed, new files are created for you.
The lines LASTDRIVE=Z and FILES=40 are added to the CONFIG.SYS
file.
The lines @CALL drive:\NetWare_Client_directory\STARTNET and
PATH=NetWare_Client_directory/%PATH% are added to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
STARTNET.BAT
The installation program creates a file called STARTNET.BAT in the target
directory you specified.
The file contains the following lines, which load the core NetWare Client
software:
SET NWLANGUAGE=preferred_language
C:\NetWare_Client_directory\LSL.COM
C:\NetWare_Client_directory\LAN_driver.COM
C:\NetWare_Client_directory\IPXODI.COM
C:\NetWare_Client_directory\VLM.EXE
If you installed the TSA software for allowing the client workstation to be
backed up from a server, a line for the TSASMS.COM file would be added
after the line that loads the VLM.EXE file.
