Installation guide

CHAPTER 3

Installing LAN Manager on

MS-DOS Workstations

This chapter shows you how to install LAN Manager workstation

software on MS-DOS computers. For planning assistance and for

explanations of configuration choices you can make, see Chapter 2,

“Planning for Installation and Configuration.” It is recommended that

you complete the planning forms provided in Chapter 2 and keep them

available while installing. The workstation configuration is determined

by the choices you make during the installation.

If a computer is running the network version of Microsoft Windows,

see the instructions in “Modifying the Microsoft Windows SETUP.INF

File,”

later in this chapter.

This chapter also shows you how to create LAN Manager Basic boot

disks (floppy disks capable of booting properly equipped computers as

LAN Manager Basic workstations).

Note

Before you install LAN Manager software on a workstation, verify

that the computer’s version of MS-DOS is a version supported by

LAN Manager 2.2. If it is not, upgrade MS-DOS to a supported version.
