TITLE: Installing Network Applications on NWL DOCUMENT ID: TID1200421 DOCUMENT REVISION: 1 DATE: 23MAR95 ALERT STATUS: Yellow README FOR: NA NOVELL PRODUCT and VERSION: NETWARE LITE V1.1 ABSTRACT: NA --------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: THE ORIGIN OF THIS INFORMATION MAY BE INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL TO NOVELL.

NetWare is, as you know, a very popular LAN. Many applications have NetWare specific installation options. These installation options do not apply to NetWare Lite networks. NetWare Lite is a DOS peer-to-peer network. If the application being installed has network specific installations, then "Other networks..," "DOS peer-to-peer network," or the like should be selected. Do not select NetWare or Novell installation options. See Appendix B in the NetWare Lite documentation for more details about using NetWare Lite with NetWare. In general, some consideration should be given when installing applications. If the application requires configuration information at the time it is installed, then consideration should be given to which CLIENTs (machines) will use the application. Example: Suppose application TESTAPP.EXE is being installed and it prompts for the monitor type that will be used with this application. Suppose that the machine you are on has a VGA screen but no other machines on the network have VGA screens. If you were to select VGA then when this application is run from across the network from an CGA screen, it may not function properly. Novell has no specific guidelines on this subject, as a general solution may not be possible. This is a general problem with configurations of applications on a network. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Any trademarks referenced in this document are the property of their respective owners.
