If you find a match, you can select the compatible board type to complete the installation. If your board is not compatible with any of the boards listed, you will have to use the board driver supplied with the board or provide your own board driver. Any board drivers not supplied on the installation diskettes are considered to be "other" board drivers. Unfortunately, the installation program fails to complete properly if "other" is selected during installation. To install NetWare Lite with your "other" board driver, complete the following steps: Note: See document 1200413 from Novell's FaxBack Service or TID1200413 from the NSE Pro or Compuserve for drivers added to NetWare Lite v1.1. 1. Make backup copies of the original "program" and "driver" diskettes. If you have a 720 KB or 1.2 MB floppy drive, you can copy both original diskettes onto one backup diskette. 2. Copy your board driver onto the backup diskette. If you made a separate backup diskette of the "program" and "driver" diskettes, you must copy the board driver to the "driver" backup diskette. 3. Begin the installation program as you normal; however, use each backup diskette instead of the original. 4. When prompted to select a network board, verify that "other" is highlighted and press . (This is in the INSTALL step 3.) 5. When prompted to insert the diskette that contains your board driver, simply press . Other Driver List should come up with the name of your driver now in the list. NOTE: The "OTHER" selection will only work if your driver has a .COM extension. 6. Use the arrow keys to highlight the name of your board driver and press . 7. Continue following the installation program prompts until the program completes. 8. When the installation program completes, press to exit. If you installed the board with nondefault settings, you will need to create a configuration file to inform IPX. The configuration file is named NET.CFG and should be located in the same directory as the other NetWare Lite program files. The NET.CFG created by NetWare Lite has the following format. Refer to your hardware documentation for information on setting up your board and what to include in NET.CFG. # Setup the NE2000 board Link driver NE2000 INT 3 PORT 300 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Any trademarks referenced in this document are the property of their respective owners.
