Chapter 3 - Quick Installation Steps
This chapter is for experienced NetWare installers. If you are not familiar with NetWare installations, turn to the next chapter. QL Series drivers can be installed with any of these versions of Novell NetWare:
NetWare 286 SFT, ADV , Version 2.12 and above
NetWare ELS II , Version 2.12 and above
NetWare 386 , Version 3.10 and above
NetWare External Bridge , Version 2.15C and above
NetWare External Router , Version 2.2 and above
NOTE: Do not install the Cubix QL Series boards until you are instructed to do so in the installation steps. Installing the boards early may cause problems during the installation.
NOTE: Make working copies of your NetWare and Cubix diskettes using the DOS DISKCOPY command. Do not use your original diskettes as working diskettes.

NOTE: DOS Version 5.0 (or higher) is not supported on the QL 1000 Series products.
