I've been trying to install Netware 5 for the last week and I am at my
wit's end as to what to try next.  I get no error messages, it just
echos install and a line of dots underneath, then reboots.  I made the
DOS partition (both 50M and a 750MB at different times)  with 6.22
fdisk, formatted and copied the system files onto the partiton,
installed the CD drivers and let that program make autoexec/config files
so there was no himem involved.  I tried to access Novell's hardward
list but couldn't  access the server so I don't know if all my equipment
is "certified" -- my set up is a 6.5G Seagate IDE drive, a 50X Antec IDE
CD-ROM, 96M of RAM, Gigabyte Mb with Ali chipset, LinkSys EtherFast
10/100 LanCard, and a Creative Labs Riva TNT Pci video board with 16M of
RAM.  I do have a 750M partition at the beginning of the hard drive that
was made with Partition Magic and formatted for Linux that DOS sees as
non-DOS.  Could this be a problem?

I'm a student and have wasted my whole spring break trying to make some
headway.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
