If your network board does not appear in this list, refer to your
hardware documentation to determine if your board is compatible with a
board that is on the list. 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 Fax Document 2856 or FYI.P.6089 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.
