INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

== PRE-INSTALLATION ==

1. This patch is designed to update the Novell Client v4.9 SP2 for Windows
NT/2000/XP. Be sure to install only on this version of the client.

== PATCH INSTALLATION ==

1. Expand the self-extracting file 49psp2_ndppnt.exe (this file) to a temporary
folder.
2. Open the folder.
3. (recommended, but optional) Rename the existing ndppnt.dll (with a .old
extension, for example) in the <System_Root>\System32 folder.
4. Right-Click on _49psp2_ndppnt.inf and then click on INSTALL.
5. You will be prompted to reboot. This reboot is required to complete the
installation.

Another method to install is to manually copy and replace the existing nwfs.sys
in directory listed in Step 3, above.

== OVERLAYING THE 4.9 SP2 INSTALLATION SET ==

The files in this package can also be overlaid on top of a Novell Client 4.9
SP2 installation set so that when SETUPNW.EXE is run to install the Novell
Client you will be installing the core 4.9 SP2 client and the updates contained
in this package in one operation.

To update the installation set with the file in this patch set, extract this
package to a temporary location, then copy the resultant directory structure to
over the top of the i386 folder in your "Novell Client 4.9 SP2" installation.
