ISSUE:

Installing Novell DOS 7

If you are installing Novell DOS 7, use the follow the steps:

NOTE: If installing from a network drive, you should load the 
network drivers and map a drive to the network directory where the
Novell DOS 7 files exist.

1.   From your floppy disk drive or from the drive letter you mapped
on the network, type INSTALL.

     NOTE: If you are installing from a network drive you may ignore
the message telling you to boot from your current operating system. 
Just press <Enter> to continue.

2.   INSTALL will read configuration files and take you to a main
INSTALL screen.  Choose the Continue with installation option.

3.   Enter data for the Name, Company Name, and Serial Number, as
appropriate.

4.   Verify the keyboard type is correct for your computer.

5.   You will be at a screen asking you which components of Novell
DOS 7 to install.  Select Networking System.  If you have Windows
installed on your hard disk, you will want to select to install the
MS-Windows Utilities.  If Windows is not currently installed
"deselect" MS Windows Utilities.  Choose the "Continue at this
screen" option.

     NOTE: You cannot "deselect" the standard DOS files. They will
always be installed.

6.   Choose the "Change the installation settings" option at the next
screen that comes up.

7.   You will be at a configuration menu.  This is where you  select
which components you wish to configure.

     NOTE: After installing Novell DOS 7, you can access this same
utility as SETUP.EXE.

     INSTALL will use your existing CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
files.  If you have no previous DOS configuration on your hard disk,
INSTALL, based on your hardware, will choose defaults for all
settings.

8.   Choose the "Proceed with the installation" option. The screen
will display several lines of information on how INSTALL will
configure your system.  Choose the "Start Installation" option.

9.   The system will display a percentage complete monitor, as well
as displaying file activity as files are installed to your hard disk.

     If you are installing from floppy diskettes, you will be
prompted to switch diskettes.

10.  You will get a message box indicating the installation is
complete.  Press <Enter> to go to the final INSTALL screen.

11.  At this final INSTALL screen, you have the option to view the
READ.ME file (which displays the text file README.TXT), view your
configuration files, or restart the operating system.  After you have
viewed the configuration files and README.TXT file, choose the
"Restart Operating System" option, to reboot the computer and load
Novell DOS 7.

     Note the message that appears before your machine is  restarted. 
It tells you that you can use SETUP.EXE to further configure your
system, including setting up the network and compressing your hard
disk.

Novell DOS 7 is now installed on your hard disk.
