This is the quickest way to install the operating system.If you want to view (and possibly change) the settings that INSTALL has chosen for your computer, select this option.

If you are a novice user, select the first option.This item specifies whether or not INSTALL saves any existing operating system that it finds.

SAVING YOUR EXISTING OPERATING SYSTEM MEANS THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RESTORE IT.This field specifies whether INSTALL discards the information in existing configuration files (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT) and creates new ones or modifies the existing files.

If you choose to create new files, they will automatically match your hardware and software setup.Choose this option if you want to be able to uninstall DR-DOS in the future and revert to your old disk operating system.

You can do this by running the UNINSTAL command after DR-DOS has been installed.Choose this option if you do not have an old operating system to save or if you are sure that you will never want to uninstall DR-DOS.

The UNINSTAL command will not work if you choose this option.Choose this option if you have a non-standard configuration you wish to preserve. INSTALL will attempt to preserve your configuration files but will make changes where necessary.Choose this option if you do not want to preserve your existing DOS configuration or if there are no configuration files to preserve.Choose this option to search for files with the same names as the operating system files and replace them with the new versions.

Note that this option searches ALL directories on ALL hard disk partitions.Choose this option to copy the operating system files to the destination you specify but leave any existing files with the same names in other directories unaffected.Choose this option to configure the memory management device drivers. 

The memory manager you use depends on what kind of processor and other hardware you are using.Choose this option to change the information about your country and keyboard that is used by the operating system.

Country information includes currency symbol and time and date formats but it does NOT include the language used.Choose this option to configure various operating system parameters including:

- search path for commands
- environment parameters
- command line recall and edit
- disk parameters (files and buffers)
- the command prompt
- directories for temporary and initialization filesChoose this option to configure various device drivers and programs including:

- extended display driver (ANSI.SYS)
- support for displaying extra characters on a color graphics adaptor
- fast file access (FASTOPEN)
- file sharing software (SHARE.EXE)
- code page switchingThe system PATH is used by DOS to locate executable (.EXE and .COM) files and batch (.BAT) files.

PATH makes it possible to start applications that reside in directories other than the current directory without switching directories. The 'search path' is determined by the order of the directories in the PATH. 

To ensure that DOS programs, such as SETUP, are located first in the search path, it is recommended that the DOS directory is always first in the PATH string. 

Each directory included in the PATH string should include the complete path and each should be separated by a semi-colon. For example: C:\DOS;C:\;C:\UTIL;C:\UTIL\BIN;. The total PATH string must not exceed 128 characters in length. 

Be aware that the PATH string is included in the environment; therefore, the environment size must be large enough to support the PATH string.When BREAK is set to ON, you can stop a DOS application at any time by pressing CTRL+BREAK.

When BREAK is set to OFF, pressing CTRL+BREAK will only stop a program if it is performing standard DOS input and output operations, such as writing to the screen or reading the keyboard. 

BREAK is set in CONFIG.SYS. The default setting is BREAK=OFF. 

BREAK has no effect on memory or environment.The operating system will reserve drive letters up to and including this one. Drive letters after this one can be used by network software such as Novell NetWare. Setting the LASTDRIVE allows for better control of which drive letters are used by drivers, applications, and networks. 

LASTDRIVE is set in CONFIG.SYS. The default setting is LASTDRIVE=[last existing drive]. 

Be aware that setting LASTDRIVE may have the following impacts: 
- You cannot substitute (SUBST) drives beyond the LASTDRIVE. 
- Each additional drive letter uses 80 bytes of memory (upper memory is used if DOS=HIGH, DOS=HIGH,UMB or DOS=UMB).When VERIFY is ON, the operating system checks that data is written to disk correctly after each write operation. This will reduce the chances of data storage difficulties going undiscovered.

VERIFY is set in AUTOEXEC.BAT. The default setting is VERIFY=OFF.

WHEN VERIFY IS ON, THE OPERATING SYSTEM WILL RUN MORE SLOWLY BECAUSE IT IS TAKING THE EXTRA STEP OF VERIFYING EVERY WRITE OPERATION.When HISTORY is set to ON, you can recall commands that you previously issued by pressing a single key or key combination. Extended command line editing can be used to recall, modify, and re-issue commands. 

HISTORY is set in CONFIG.SYS. The default setting is HISTORY=OFF.This field specifies the amount of memory reserved for environment strings such as PATH and TEMP. 

You may need to increase the environment size if you use a very long PATH string or if you use applications that set a large number of environment strings. Placing information in the environment is useful for adjusting the behaviour of applications that read the environment. 

Environment size is set in CONFIG.SYS with the SHELL statement. The default environment size is 512 bytes.This field specifies the size of the HISTORY buffer.

The default size of 256 bytes will allow you to recall approximately 10 commands, depending on their length. 

Be aware that each buffer unit uses approximately 2 bytes of memory (upper memory is used if DOS=HIGH, DOS=HIGH,UMB or DOS=UMB).This field sets the default character insert mode for command line editing.

ON means characters to the right of the cursor will be shifted to the right to make room for new characters.

OFF means that the character under the cursor will be overwritten when a new character is typed.

During command line editing, insert mode can switched on and off by pressing the INS key. 

The default setting is OFF.Specify the number of buffers to set up in memory, from 3 to 99. 

The operating system uses buffers when it reads from or writes to disk.

The more buffers you specify, the faster your system will perform read and write operations. Remember, however, that each buffer uses approximately 528 bytes of memory, (upper memory is used if DOS=HIGH, DOS=HIGH,UMB or DOS=UMB), that would otherwise be available to applications.

AVOID SPECIFYING TOO MANY BUFFERS. For a system with 640 KB of total memory, the optimum number is 15, which is the default. 

BUFFERS is set in CONFIG.SYS.Specify the maximum number of files that can be opened simultaneously by programs, from 5 to 255. The operating system uses this number to determine how much memory to reserve for controlling open files. Allowing more files to be open at the same time may cause applications to run faster. 

FILES is set in CONFIG.SYS. The default setting is FILES=20. 

Be aware that each file 'handle' uses 52 bytes of conventional memory.Specify the number of File Control Blocks (FCBS) for which the system reserves memory, from 0 to 255. 4 is usually sufficient but the number you require depends on the applications you want to run. Allowing more files to be open at the same time may cause applications to run faster. 

The operating system uses File Control Blocks when accessing files using FCB calls rather than normal handle calls. 

FCBS is set in CONFIG.SYS. The default setting is FCBS=4,4. 

Be aware that each FCBS handle uses approximately 50 bytes of conventional memory.This field specifies the format of the system prompt. 

There is a list of predefined formats which you can view by pressing ENTER. If you want to customize the screen display by specifying your own format, select OTHER from this list and enter the customized format in the field below.

The PROMPT command can use ANSI escape sequences to set keyboard and display functions. 

PROMPT is set in AUTOEXEC.BAT. The default prompt is $p$g. 

The PROMPT command is included in the environment. It has no effect on memory.Use this field to specify the customized prompt you want to display.

The prompt will appear exactly as you type it here except when you use the following special characters:

$N - displays the current drive
$P - displays the current directory
$T - displays the current time
$D - displays the current date
$G - displays the > character
$L - displays the < character
$B - displays the | characters
$Q - displays the = character
$H - displays a backspace (previous character is erased)
$E - displays the ESC character
$U - displays the login name of the user
$X - runs the command specified by the PEXEC environment variable
$- - specifies the carriage-return and line feed sequenceThis field specifies the location for temporary files.

If you enter a drive and directory in this field (or accept the current drive and directory), the value of the TEMP environment variable is set to the specified location and the operating system places temporary files there.

Some applications, such as the Task Manager, may need to use disk space when there is no more memory available. Task Manager, therefore, creates a 'swap file' on the disk. The swap file will be located in the directory specified by TEMP. 

The TEMP variable is included in the environment. 

If you do not enter a value in this field, temporary files are placed in the root directory of the current drive.This field specifies the drive and directory in which DOS programs will look for configuration (.INI) files.

If you enter a value in this field, the value of the DOSCFG environment variable is set to the specified location. 

If you do not enter a value in this field, DOS programs will look for configuration files in the directory in which they are located themselves.ANSI.SYS provides extra support for programs that need to move the cursor, alter the screen display, or assign keyboard use. 

This support is provided using the ESC character followed by 'ANSI escape sequences'.

Certain third party programs expect ANSI.SYS to be loaded.GRAFTABL support allows you to display extra and international characters if you are using a color graphics adaptor (CGA).FASTOPEN allows the operating system to locate frequently-accessed files more quickly by maintaining a table of these files in memory.Code pages define the characters which appear on your screen or printer.

Most countries use code page 437. Some countries need to use a different code page because 437 does not contain all the characters in every national language.

Code page 850 is an international code page; you can use it instead of, or in addition to, the standard code page for your country.

To actually switch between code pages, you use the CHCP command.

CODE PAGE SWITCHING IS ONLY SUPPORTED ON EGA, VGA, AND MCGA DISPLAYS AND ON CERTAIN PRINTER TYPES.The SHARE program allows DOS to support file sharing.

SHARE allows applications to lock files so that other processes are denied read or write access; this means that files can be shared between different programs.

SHARE is often required by network applications.Specify the maximum number of file entries that can be held in the FASTOPEN table, between 128 and 32,768. The default value of 512 is sufficient in most situations.

EACH FILE ENTRY USES 2 BYTES OF MEMORY SO DO NOT SPECIFY A LARGER NUMBER THAN YOU NEED.Specify the number of files that can be locked at the same time. The minimum number you can specify is 20.

EACH FILE LOCK USES 16 BYTES OF MEMORY SO SPECIFY THE MINIMUM NECESSARY FOR YOUR REQUIREMENTS.Choose this option to change the printer type associated with this port.

The printer type determines the way in which code page switching is set up for the port.Choose this option if the printer type shown is correct.Choose this option if there is no printer attached to this port.Choose this option if the printer attached to this port is NOT one of the supported types.Choose this option if the printer attached to this port is an IBM 4201 Proprinter, an IBM Proprinter XL, or a compatible type.Choose this option if the printer attached to this port is an IBM 4207 Proprinter X24, an IBM 4208 Proprinter XL24, or a compatible type.Choose this option if the printer attached to this port is an IBM 5202 Quietwriter III or a compatible type.Choose this option if the printer attached to this port is an Epson 850, Epson 1050, or a compatible type.Choose this option if you want the local code page to be active when you start the operating system.Choose this option if you want the international code page to be active when you start the operating system.The 386 memory manager (for use with 386 processors and above) provides access to enhanced memory features and helps you make the best possible use of your extended memory. In particular, it will increase the amount of conventional memory available for your DOS applications.

Advanced features include the following:

- scanning, testing, and enabling of upper memory
- copying of slow ROM to fast RAM
- LIM EMS 4.0 expanded memory emulation
- support for MS Windows 3.0 in Standard mode
- enabling of memory normally used by the video display adaptor
- support for DPMI (DOS Protected Mode Interface)
- including and excluding of specific memory areas
- relocation of system code to upper memoryThe 80286 memory manager will increase the amount of conventional memory available for your DOS applications.

Advanced features include the following:

- scanning, testing, and enabling of upper memory
- enabling of memory normally used by the video display adaptor (providing your hardware can support this)
- including and excluding of specific memory areas
- relocation of system code to upper memoryLocate the operating system software in upper or high memory to increase the amount of conventional memory available for your applications.

You must load a memory manager to provide the upper and high memory. Both the 386 and 286 memory managers will provide this memory, as will some third-party memory managers.DPMS is DOS Protected Mode Services.

DPMS allows DOS device drivers and programs to run in protected mode (outside of conventional memory), thus making more conventional memory available for your applications.

You must load a memory manager before DPMS can load.

Load DPMS if you will be using a memory manager along with DELWATCH, the NWCACHE disk caching program, Stacker disk compression, the Personal NetWare server, or any third-party DPMS-compliant software.The 386 advanced options include:

- specifying the location of the EMS page frame
- selecting specific areas of ROM to copy to RAM
- selecting areas of upper memory to use or leave unusedThe 286 advanced options allow you to select areas of upper memory to use or leave unused.The FRAME value specifies the location of the 64 KB LIM EMS window in memory. Note that a contiguous 64 KB block of unused memory should be available at the location you specify.

FRAME = AUTO causes the memory manager to select a value.
FRAME = NONE disables LIM EMS emulation.This value specifies the amount of extended memory reserved for use by third-party software that CANNOT use XMS or LIM EMS memory.

Software which CAN use XMS or LIM EMS memory will NOT be able to use memory reserved in this way.

Refer to your software's documentation to find out what types of memory it can use.This option causes a less stringent test to be applied to the specified memory areas before they are used by the memory manager.

Areas marked as UNKNOWN in the table will fail the normal test but can be used if they are 'included' using this option.This option restricts the locations in which the memory manager searches for usable memory areas; the specified areas will not be examined.

For example, you may wish to use this option to prevent the memory manager from using part of upper memory that is in use by an add-in card.This option tells the memory manager which areas of ROM to copy into RAM.

If you specify a single value, the memory manager will attempt to read the length of the ROM from the ROM header.

AUTO causes the driver to remap ALL ROM it finds.Select yes to enable the use of video memory space by applications when all of the video memory is not required by graphics.

Video memory is located immediately above conventional memory; enabling it for use by applications can provide up to 64 KB of additional conventional memory.Select yes to enable LIM EMS emulation. The 386 memory manager will use EXTENDED memory to emulate an EXPANDED memory driver. 

You may have some third-party software which can make use of expanded memory. Refer to the documentation of any such software to find out if this is the case.Select yes to copy data from ROM, which usually executes slowly, to RAM, which executes faster. 

This feature uses extended memory, and so will decrease the amount of extended memory available for other purposes.Do not select this field if you are using MS Windows 3.1.

Select this if you are going to be using MS Windows 3.0 in Standard (80286) mode.

MS Windows does not normally run in Standard mode on a 386 computer. MS Windows will run in Standard mode if your computer has less than 2 MB of extended memory or if you specifically tell it to run in Standard mode.

Select the ABOUT menu item from the MS Windows Program Manager help menu to determine the mode in which MS Windows is running.The table indicates how memory starting at segment address C000 is being used in terms of 4 KB blocks. Use this information to help you set values for the advanced memory options.The multitasking software allows you to load more than one program (task) on your computer and switch quickly between them.

All of the programs (tasks) will run SIMULTANEOUSLY, although only one program will be displayed on the screen at a time.

The program displayed is referred to as being in the 'foreground' while the other tasks not displayed are in the 'background.'The Task Manager pop-up menu requires a key combination to be pressed. This combination consists of one or two 'shift' keys and a 'hot' key. The shift keys, along with the keyboard's numeric keys, are also used to switch between programs (tasks). 

To display the Task Manager pop-up menu, you will use this key followed by the hot key. To switch between programs (tasks), you will use this key followed by a numeric key. 

Be aware that other applications could assume control of the Task Manager shift keys; changing the shift keys used for the Task Manager can help to avoid this situation.The Task Manager pop-up menu requires a key combination to be pressed. This combination consists of one or two 'shift' keys and a 'hot' key. 

To display the Task Manager pop-up menu, you will use the shift keys followed by this hot hey. 

Be aware that other applications could have control keys that conflict with Task Manager keys so take care when selecting the hot key.The Task Manager can use extended (XMS) memory, expanded (EMS) memory, or virtual memory (a swap file on the hard disk) for task switching. 

Using extended (XMS) memory will improve the performance of the Task Manager but the total amount of system memory available will decrease by the amount of extended (XMS) memory allocated to the Task Manager.The Task Manager can use extended (XMS) memory, expanded (EMS) memory, or virtual memory (a swap file on the hard disk) for task switching. 

Using expanded (EMS) memory will improve the performance of the Task Manager but the total amount of system memory available will decrease by the amount of expanded (EMS) memory allocated to the Task Manager.Specify the maximum amount of expanded (EMS) memory that can be used by a single program (task). This ensures that multiple programs using expanded memory can always operate at the same time.Specify the maximum amount of extended or expanded memory that can be used by a single program (task).

The memory is addressable via both the XMS and LIM interfaces.This value defines the amount of processing time allocated to tasks running in the background.

For example, a value of 10 will mean the foreground task gets 10 times as much processor time as any one background task. If there are 10 background tasks, the foreground task will get 50% of the available processing time.Choosing global drives and paths will mean that network mappings specified in a task are recognized in all subsequent tasks.A 'swap file' is a temporary file (or 'virtual memory') that is used by a program when there is no more RAM available to it. The Task Manager will create a swap file in the displayed directory. 

The directory is defined as follows: d:\dirpath where d: is the drive and dirpath is the directory or subdirectory path. For example: C:\DOS\TMP. 

Changing the swap file location here will change the swap file information in the [Disk] section of the TASKMGR.INI file.The task switching software allows you to load more than one program (task) on your computer and switch quickly between them.

ONLY the program (task) that is CURRENTLY DISPLAYED will run; the remaining programs (tasks) are frozen until you switch back to them.

The running task is referred to as being in the 'foreground' while all the tasks that are not running are suspended in the 'background.'A virtual or memory disk enables you to use a portion of your computer's memory as a disk with a very fast access time. VDISK can use extended or expanded (EMS) memory.

Note that when you switch off your computer, all the data stored in a VDISK is lost.  You must remember to copy your data to your hard disk or diskettes.The anti-virus software will protect your computer from software-virus infection by scanning the computer each time you turn it on.DELWATCH is a TSR program which helps the UNDELETE program by keeping track of files which have been deleted.

Note that it is possible to undelete files without DELWATCH, but the chances of doing so successfully are reduced.DISKMAP is a utility which helps the UNDELETE program by recording the current structure of your hard disk(s). It will run every time you start the operating system.

Note that it is possible to undelete files without DISKMAP, but the chances of doing so successfully are reduced.This option specifies the amount of memory to be used for the disk.This option specifies the unit of space allocation (the sector size) in bytes. The smaller the sector size, the more efficiently space is used.

The value must be 128, 256, or 512.This option specifies the maximum number of files that can be written to the root directory of your virtual memory disk.

It does not affect the number of files which can reside in subdirectories.This field specifies the type of memory to use for the virtual disk.

If your computer contains extended or expanded (EMS) memory you can use it for the virtual disk, but doing so will reduce the extended/expanded memory available for other purposes.Specify the maximum number of deleted files to be saved by DELWATCH. When DELWATCH has saved this number of deleted files, it begins discarding the oldest files.Specify the maximum number of files with the same name and in the same directory that DELWATCH can save. You will be able to distinguish between these deleted files by time and date stamps.Depending on the contents of the field above, DELWATCH will either save any file EXCEPT those with extensions listed in this field, or save ONLY files with the extensions listed.

For example, if you enter
  C+PAS+ASM
and select 'Only save...' in the field above, then all files with names which end in .C, .PAS and .ASM will be saved by DELWATCH when they are deleted.This field tells DELWATCH how to act on the file types listed in the field below.

DELWATCH can either save ONLY those file types which are listed, or save all files EXCEPT those which are listed.This screen shows the country code and keyboard type which are currently active.

These values are used when DOS starts up and affect  time and date format, currency symbol, and keyboard layout.You can select either the standard (83/84 key) or enhanced (101/102/104 key) keyboard type. If you do not select the correct keyboard type, you may find that some keys do not match the displayed characters. 

When you select a keyboard layout OTHER THAN the U.S. keyboard, the [+|-] parameter of the KEYB statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT will be changed. The + character represents the enhanced keyboard and the - character represents the standard keyboard.Select this option to continue without changing the current status of SECURITY.Select this option to enable the SECURITY feature. 

You will be to enter a password. The password will be encoded onto your hard disk partitions, preventing them from being used with operating systems other than DR-DOS. If you ever choose to disable SECURITY, you will have to enter the password first.Select this option to disable the SECURITY feature. You will be prompted to enter the security password.Select this option to change the current password.The fields at the top of this screen select the type of Task Manager to load automatically.

- whether or not your old operating system is saved. (You cannot restore it if it is not saved.)
- whether your old configuration files are read and then modified, or simply renamed.The Memory Manager and Disk Cache options allow you to select:

- whether or not a memory manager is loaded
- whether or not the disk cache is loadedThe file replace mode determines whether or not INSTALL will search directories other than the destination directories for files with the same name as those being copied and replace them with the appropriate new files.

This may be useful if you have DOS programs in several different locations on your disk.The Global Color Set specifies the colors used by several of the DR-DOS programs.

Monochrome and LCD/Plasma options are available.The Advanced Installation Settings allow you to fine tune your installation.

They are intended for advanced users only.The memory manager increases the amount of conventional memory available to applications by relocating parts of the operating system and other memory-resident programs.  It can also provide extended and/or expanded memory.The disk cache software will increase the performance of your hard disk by 'caching' recently-accessed data in memory. If the same data is required again, it can be read from fast memory instead of from the disk.This field contains a list of all available keyboard types.

If you change the keyboard type, INSTALL will attempt to change the keyboard handling to match. Note that this is only possible if you booted from a DR-DOS distribution diskette.

When installation is complete and DR-DOS is loaded the keyboard type will be the one shown.This field determines how the network software chooses which VLMs (Virtual Loadable Modules) to load. If you choose not to load the default VLMs, you will have to edit the NET.CFG file to specify which VLMs get loaded.

Changing this field changes the USE DEFAULTS entry in the NET.CFG file.Choose 'Stack Entire Drive' to compress all data on the drive and increase the amount of free space available.

Choose 'Create Drive from Free Space' to convert the free space on the drive into a compressed drive. If the drive is a hard disk partition, the new drive will appear as the next available drive letter. Free space on the old drive will be reduced to zero.Choose 'Begin Stacking' to start the Stacker drive creation process.If your computer is left unattended, the DOS Screen Saver will blank your display screen after a set time interval.

If Security is active you will have to enter a password to restore the screen.This field specifies the amount of space SHARE reserves for file sharing data.The time shown is the 'inactive' period required before the DOS Screen Saver will activate. 'Inactive' means no keyboard or mouse activity.DPMI is the DOS Protected Mode Interface.Press ENTER to see a list of countries.Press ENTER to see a list of keyboards.Select a drive to compress from the list.Select this option to fine tune the compression algorithm used on your compressed drives.Rebooting means reloading the operating system.

Rebooting now will bypass the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Any software loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT will therefore be disabled during the process to create a Stacker drive.

It is recommended that you select to reboot.This option enables the DR-DOS task manager.  This allows the user to run multiple Dos sessions on the one machine.

Note: Multitasking is only available on computers with an i386 processor (or later).This will allow you to configure the behaviour of the multitasker and the keys needed to invoke it.Select continue to begin installing Personal NetWare on to your hard disk.Select continue to proceed with a hard disk installation.

Generating a bootable floppy disk will NOT install any files on to your hard disk.Selecting this button lets you view important information that you should be aware of before installation.No help is available.The groups of files listed on this screen with check boxes are optional; you can choose NOT to install them.

You may want to do this because you have limited disk space, or because you know you will not need a particular element.This will let you select the destination drives and directories for the various components of DR-DOS.The destination drives and directories are where INSTALL will put the files it copies.

The default destination drive is C: (your hard disk).System and boot files will be copied to the drive and directory shown here.This is the drive and directory to which the operating system utility files are copied.This is the drive and directory to which the Networking system files and utilities are copied.

Change the default setting if you already have a directory with the same name that is used for another purpose.This is the drive and directory in which INSTALL assumes MS Windows is located.

INSTALL will copy several files to this directory and will update MS Windows configuration files located in it.Choose this option when you are finished with this screen.

More help is available on each of the selectable items by pressing F1 when the item is highlighted.This is your last chance to make changes or cancel the installation process.

You cannot stop the installation process once it has begun.

If you wish to make changes to or check your configuration select the Go back to previous screen option.This field defines the maximum size of the cache. If memory lending is disabled the cache will always be this size.

The cache will decide automatically which type of memory to use (either EXTENDED or EXPANDED)This field defines the minimum size of the cache when memory lending is enabled. The rest of the cache memory will be available to applications that request it.When write delay is enabled, data written to the disk may actually reside in the cache for a short period of time before being written to the disk.

Note that although this increases disk performance, it may result in lost data in the event of a power failure.When memory lending is enabled, cache memory above the minimum cache size may be requested by applications for their own use.

The cache size, and therefore cache performance, will be reduced when this happens, but applications which need to use extended or expanded memory temporarily can still run.If you select to install the network software, you will need to provide a disk containing the network software files.Enter the name of the user of this computer in this field. If you are sharing the resources of this computer, the computer's server name will be derived from the name you enter.

This only applies to NetWare 2.x, 3.x and 4.x networks.DPMS stands for DOS Protected Mode Services.

The network software can use DPMS to optimize its use of memory.A disk cache improves the performance of your hard disk by keeping data recently read from the disk in memory. If the same data is needed again, it can be read very quickly from memory, instead of the system accessing the much slower disk again.

The cache can use extended or expanded (EMS) memory.The SNMP agent allows a remote computer to gather detailed information about the hardware and software available in your computer.

This is useful for network management.

Note that the SNMP agent uses a great deal of memory, so it should only be loaded when it is needed.The NMR module provides basic network management facilities and requires little memory.Select this option to change the disk cache configuration.The IPX Router allows a second computer (eg. a laptop) to use this computer as a gateway to your network.

You must load a second interface card driver, and this must match the interface card in the second computer. If the second computer does not have an interface card you can use the Novell Serial Port driver or the Novell Parallel Port driver.This field selects the second network interface card driver to load.

You must load a second driver if you will be using the IPX Router.Select this option to change the low level configuration of your second network card driver.Select this option to change the low level configuration of your primary network card driver.DOS System & Memory Management includes:

The functionality to do this is also available in NET.You need to enter a workgroup name.

The is the workgroup that second and subsequent computers connected to your network will join when you install Personal NetWare on them.

Example workgroup names are:
  DOCUMENTATION
  ENGINEERING
  ADMINISTRATIONYou need to either create a new workgroup or join an existing workgroup.

Most simple networks require only one workgroup to which all machines and users belong. It is therefore recommended that you join an existing workgroup.

If the workgroup you choose has a supervisor password you will be prompted later to enter it.This screen shows the resources available on your computer. Select those that you wish to share with other users on your network.

Note that each resource available on the network must have a unique name. The default names are shown and you may edit them if you wish.Select 'Save Changes and Exit' to confirm the selections you have made.When you select one of the color options, the screen will change immediately to that color combination.

The video mode will be changed when you edit the field. This will blank the screen for a few seconds.Select the interrupt level that corresponds to the interrupt setting on the board or other device. The interrupt setting must be unique (one not used by another device in the machine).Select the port value (base I/O address) that corresponds to the port address setting on the board or other device. Make sure the block of I/O addresses does not overlap the addresses of another device in the machine.Select the memory address that corresponds to the memory setting on the board or other device. Make sure the block of memory addresses does not overlap the addresses of another device in the machine.Select the DMA channel that corresponds to the DMA setting on the board or other device. Make sure the DMA (Direct Memory Access) channel does not conflict with that of another device in the machine.Select the slot number that corresponds to the expansion slot where the board or other device is installed.Do not change this address unless you are prepared to administer local addresses according to the IEEE 802.2 specifications. The driver defaults to the node address on the board.Select the frame type(s) used by the protocol(s) that your network requires. Make sure you have all machines configured for the same frame type.This will setup your computer so that it will run Dos games faster and some that would otherwise not run.This button continues to the next screen.This button lets exit from this program.This button returns to the previous screen.This button saves the changes made on this screen and returns to the previous screen.This button discards the changes made on this screen and returns to the previous screen.3└╦■╦áÿÖä└t
