ISSUE/PROBLEM

Network Applications

Installing applications on NetWare Lite may be different from installing
applications on NetWare. 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.
