Hi,

What type of hardware do you have for the server? How much disk space? Does it have a RAID Controller? How many Drives? Do plan on Duplexing/Mirroring for fault tolerance.

Boot the server from the CD and follow the prompts to install the server. When creating the BOOT Partition, you should make it no less than 200MB.

As far as clients, you can download (free) the latest Novell client from the Novell Support site>

(for WinNT/2k/XP)

(for Win9x).

Good Luck
Lou

I want to install diskless clients , i dont know how to do this ...?

With diskless clients you need boot roms on your NIC's

There is now a thing called PXE (pre-boot execution service), but I don't think there is any PXE services made for NetWare 4.11

This thread should help you install the OS on newer hardware that may have issues with drivers. thread57-557332

Search the form, there is more here that will help
