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,
