In this case, please refer to your System Administrator or MIS department for assistance. NOTE: Use the following installation if you are attaching to a Novell Netware Server only. If you are also attaching to a Microsoft Windows Network, please skip to the "Attaching to Novell and Windows Networks in Windows for Workgroups" section. 1. Boot the system in DOS. If the system starts up in Windows, close Windows and exit to DOS. 2. Place the Novell VLM client disk #1 in the floppy drive and type: a:\install This opens the NetWare Client Installation window.
