Before the Installation or Upgrade
Upgrading with NetWare Accelerated Upgrade
Do not use NetWare Accelerated Upgrade to upgrade the first server in the tree
to NetWare 6—you must use the NetWare 6 installation program. After you
upgrade or install the first NetWare 6 server using the installation program,
you can then use NetWare Accelerated Upgrade to upgrade other servers in the
tree.
NetWare Accelerated Upgrade is intended for use by network administrators
who are skilled at troubleshooting and installing NetWare networks.
