Hi,
in the last days I spent much time with setting up some diskless PC's for NW  
3.11. The subject says all what should be done. Of course I've tried to use  
QEMM's powerful stealth features and after some hours of hard working, my  
bootdisk seems to work ok - all drivers and trs's (for NW too) could be loaded  
in high ram - more than 620 K free ram for applications and windows was running  
in all modes with no problems. With this pleasant result I created a bootfile  
for NW - no problem too. Testing the new bootfile also with the same good  
results - with one big exception: windows would never run in enhanced mode,  
using the new bootfile. Each attempt to run windows in enhanced mode produces  
some garbage on the screen and windows exits - no message, absolutely nothing.
After searching through many ftp-servers, news archives and various  
documentations I found absolutely nothing which could help. (maybe, I've  
searched on the wrong places, but after many hours with trail and error I found  
a simple soultion for this problem)
The solution is quite simple: for running Windows in enhanced mode under qemm  
with the stealth option enabled, are 2 qemm-files necessary: winhiram.vxd and  
winstlth.vxd. The problem is these files could not be found if windows is  
running (because they are on the boot disk image). Windows or qemm - dont ask  
me - seems to search these files on the boot disk only and on no other place.
I simply have copied these 2 files in a directory on the server with [R F] -  
rights for everyone and done a map root a:='this directory' for each diskless  
PC. With using a environment variable which is set to the qemm version during  
the boot process it should also possible to manage more than 1 qemm version on  
the network.
I was really surpriced that I could found absolut no informations or hints for  
this problem - neither from quarterdeck nor from others. Is my configuration  
really so exotic that nobody has this problem before?

Cheers, Christian
