We have installed win 3.1 on Novell 3.11 in the following manner


setup /a to copy all windows files onto the fileserver and uncompress them

setup /n to create the user/machine specific win.ini etc. files and store them
on the fileserver also, but  in user specific directories.


QUESTION:   When a user logs on to a machine that they ordinarily do not 
(non-normal log on machine)  Windows crashes, as the machine expects 
its (its normal log onner's) ini files but gets the visitor log onner's ini 
files.  This crash cause makes sense, but is there some kind of workaround ?

Is there an elegant solution where all files are still on the server ?

And secondly, is there a good FTP site for NOVELL/Windows LAN stuff ?


Thanks, ERIC SEAN WEBBER    ewebber@access.digex.com
