File: autolink.txt 3Com Corporation 3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN + 56K Modem PC Card (3CCFEM556 PC Card family) ============================================================ Installing Server Support for AutoLink -------------------------------------- 3Com's auto installation software, AutoLink, copies the NetWare DOS Requester software from Installation Diskette #2 to the system you are configuring for NetWare. You may have newer versions of this software from another source. If so, the Autolink program can download the NetWare client software from the server instead of the installation diskette. This feature can be used to install newer versions of the software or to customize your installation. Autolink can also install basic Netware support for Windows 3.1X and Windows For Workgroups 3.11. These two options can be specified by using CONFIG.EXE in the root directory of Installation Disk 2. AutoLink installs the NetWare client software from Installation Diskette 2, then starts it, and connects to a server. Once connected, AutoLink looks in the LOGIN directory of the server for a file called 3INSTALL.BAT. If this file exists, AutoLink will spawn it. If you want to deliver installations specific to your environment, your system administrator can create a batch file named 3INSTALL.BAT to copy specific software required during your client installation process. For example, you may have multiple protocols, unique configurations, special application software, or non-NetWare clients in your network environment. (%VER autolink.txt v1.1.000)
