Hello, I'm trying to make up a (pair of?) OS/2 v3.0 Warp boot disk(s) with the bare minimum of Novell Network Requester (for Novell 3.12) files on it/them to obtain a network connection under Warp. For a basic _DOS_ network boot disk I'd include the minimum system files (command.com, autoexec.bat, config.sys, io.sys, etc) and the network requester files for a netx connection (lsl.com, smc8000.com - in my case, ipxodi.com & netx.exe) with the appropriate startup batch file etc. But... I'd like to do this for OS/2 Warp. I've created the OS/2 Utility / Boot disks & added some requester files (the .sys equivalents of the .coms listed above, amongst others) and put in some 'device=' lines in the config.sys of the second disk to mirror what I have in the config.sys of a working networked client machine but I still have problems. It claims not to be able to find _file_ nls. I've copied the c:\netware\nls directory off a working client & added the path to libpath & dpath in the config.sys but to no avail. Has anyone successfully done such a thing? Apologies if I'm being thick... any ideas gratefully accepted. Thanks in advance, Craig Wentworth Library Computing Officer Huddersfield University Library, UK <c.r.wentworth@hud.ac.uk>
