This is possible but not with the requester that comes with
warp connect. You must go back to the older version. The one that
comes with warp requires pm dll's. These cost lots of disk space. 
You must get novell req 2.01 and then create your floppies.
I just take a remote install floppy setup and then hack it. 
Here oare the files on my disk.
