Re: [expert] linux and netware
Thanks for the info :) We are now in a heated battle with our local Mandrake test-box to coax and cajole it into allowing it to be seen by the rest of the network. Thanks again for the info!

It required a rebuild of the kernel to support IPX and netware. From what I recall it was a bindery only. I'm not sure about NDS support but you may not need it to just map drives. http://pcquest.ciol.com/content/networking/100080111.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I was searching trying to find my notes on the project but came up blank. What I do recall was the the DOS mode drivers worked without a hitch, but the Client32 drivers for Win98(???) had major problems. The M$ drivers should also work. I seem to recall another project besides Mars_NWE but cannot locate it on Google or Freshmeat. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [expert] linux and netware
Under Mandrake 8.x a kernel rebuild is -NOT- needed as the modules are already present. No NDS support though... -JMS |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of |[EMAIL PROTECTED] |Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 5:56 PM |To: < |Subject: Re: [expert] linux and netware | |I set one up about a year ago to help in the migration from a |4.x box.
