Installing DSMN from a Floppy Disk

Even if a computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, DSMN can be installed by creating floppy disks from the Services for NetWare CD.

Û To install DSMN on a Windows NT Server 4.0 computer from a floppy disk

1. Insert the Services for NetWare CD into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Format two blank, high-density, 3.5-inch floppy disks. Insert one disk into the floppy disk drive, usually drive A.

3. Switch to the \Dsmn\Nt40\Disks directory.

4. Switch to the subdirectory for the platform that you want to create installation disks for. For example, switch to Disks\i386 to create installation disks for an x86-based computer.

5. Copy the contents of the Disk1 subdirectory to the disk, and then copy the contents of the Disk2 subdirectory to the other disk.

6. Follow the steps in the previous procedure, with the following exception. In the Insert Disk dialog box, specify the drive that contains Disk 1. You will be prompted to insert Disk 2.
