SUMMARY
=======

This article describes how to create a 360K LAN Manager 2.1 Basic workstation
boot disk.

This procedure requires:

 - A Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 server with a 5.25-inch high density floppy drive

 - A PC with 5.25-inch high density floppy drive using the same version of
   MS-DOS the Basic workstation will be using

 - LAN Manager 2.1 installation disks

 - LAN Manager "Installation and Configuration Guide" for version 2.1

To create a 360K LAN Manager 2.1 Basic workstation boot disk, do the following:

1. Using the MS-DOS PC, prepare two boot disks (one 5.25-inch 360K and one
   5.25-inch 1.2 MB disk). For more information about formatting disks, see your
   MS-DOS manual.

2. Prepare the LAN Manager server for installing MS-DOS workstations over the
   network using the instructions on page 75 of the "Installation and
   Configuration Guide." The procedure copies all files to the server that are
   required to create a LAN Manager Basic workstation boot disk.

3. Prepare a configuration template file that contains information about your
   Basic workstation, using the instructions on page 77 of the "Installation and
   Configuration Guide." Information from the template file is used to create
   the PROTOCOL.INI file.

4. Make a LAN Manager Basic boot disk on the 5.25-inch 1.2 MB disk with the
   "ndisk /f" command. Follow the instructions on the screen and provide the
   server name, template name, and MS-DOS version on the floppy disk. For more
   information, see page 82 of the "Installation and Configuration Guide."

5. Using the list below, copy files from the 1.2 MB disk onto the 360K disk. All
   the files except the protocol manager can be in the root directory.

6. Create the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files using the examples below.

7. You can copy the LANMAN.INI and PROTOCOL.INI files from the 1.2 MB Basic
   workstation floppy disk without modification.

Notes: This example uses a 3Com EtherLink II (C503) card and the NetBEUI
protocol. You can replace the ELNKII.DOS file with the appropriate driver for
your network card (and change the driver line in CONFIG.SYS). However, some
drivers will be too large to fit on the 360K disk. LAN Manager Basic
workstations only support the NetBEUI protocol. You can delete the Help files
(*.HLP) if you want the room for something else.
