TITLE   :Create a Boot Disk for LAN Manager Enhanced Workstation
PRODUCT :Microsoft LAN Manager
PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1 has been designed to run from a hard disk.
However, it is possible to fit all the required files for an MS-DOS Enhanced
workstation on a 720K 3.5-inch or 1.2 MB 5.25-inch floppy disk. It is not
possible to create an Enhanced workstation boot disk on a 5.25-inch 360K floppy
disk.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The easiest way to build an Enhanced workstation boot disk is to install an
MS-DOS Enhanced workstation on a computer with a hard drive, copy the minimum
files you need onto a bootable floppy disk, and then edit the configuration
files appropriately for the recipient LAN Manager workstation without a hard
drive.

For information on how to create a system disk, see your MS-DOS manual. This
example is for a computer with a 3Com EtherLink II network card and the NetBEUI
protocol. Instructions for editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, LANMAN.INI, and
PROTOCOL.INI files are included at the end of this article. The following files
and directories should be placed on a system disk:

   Directory of A:\ 
   ----------------
   COMMAND.COM      MS-DOS command file
   AUTOEXEC.BAT     MS-DOS configuration file
   CONFIG.SYS       MS-DOS configuration file
   PROTOCOL.INI     LAN Manager configuration file
   LANMAN.INI       LAN Manager configuration file
   PROTMAN.DOS      Protocol Manager
   PROTMAN.EXE      Protocol Manager
   PRO.MSG          Help Messages
   PROH.MSG         Help Messages

   NETBEUI.EXE      NetBEUI Protocol
   ENCRYPT.EXE      Encrypt service
   MSRV.EXE         Messenger service
   NETPOPUP.EXE     Netpopup service
   CHKNET.EXE       Started with the workstation
   MINSES.EXE       Started with the workstation
   NETWKSTA.EXE     Started with the workstation
   NET.EXE          Used for all Enhanced commands
   NET.MSG          Additional help messages
   LOAD.COM         Binds MAC driver to Protocol
   LOGS <DIR>       Directory for error messages

SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILES
--------------------------

AUTOEXEC.BAT:

PROMPT $P$G
SET PATH=A:\;
NET START WORKSTATION
LOAD NETBEUI

device=A:\ELNKII.DOS

LANMAN.INI:

Copy the LANMAN.INI file from an existing LAN Manager 2.1 MS-DOS Enhanced
workstation onto the boot disk. In the [workstation] section, change the
LANROOT= entry from C:\LANMAN.DOS to A:\ and change the COMPUTERNAME= entry. In
the [netshell] section, change the USERNAME= entry if needed. In the [services]
section, change the paths to the correct location for the files listed (relative
to the LANROOT= entry).

[networks]
  netservices = chknet, minses

[workstation]
  wrkservices = messenger,netpopup,encrypt
  computername = *put computername here*
  domain = cavalier
  lanroot = A:\ 
  othdomains =
  numdgrambuf = 3

  SESSIONS = 6
  NCBS = 12
  BINDINGS = "ELNKII_NIF"

[ELNKII_NIF]

; protocol.ini section for the 3Com Etherlink II Adapter Card

;   The next two lines are defaults, the correct settings for your
;   net card may differ

    IOADDRESS = 0x300
    INTERRUPT = 3
    MAXTRANSMITS = 40
    DRIVERNAME = ELNKII$
