    I thought about useing this probably as a print server or somethin.  I wanted to put Netware 3.12 on it, thing is that I make the DOS Partiton an then launch the Netware disks.   I havent done this for a while.  Do I need too install the drivers during install?  Is where I am haveing issues :/

    Here's an interesting question that I shall also ask on the other Netware thread you started:

    Do you own a legal, currently valid license to install and use Novell Netware software?

        Nothing, I got it from the Radio Station my father works for.  They no longer use most of this stuff, so I end up with it

        I don't think you actually got a license. You may physically have a "license disk" in your possession but that does not mean you have a valid license. I am quailing at the task of how to get you to see the difference. You got an old server that may have been running Novell Netware on a license that the radio station paid for, but that license did not transfer to you.

        I'm amazed. I really am.

        You just wrote a perfect sentence. (Well apart from the capital letters inRadio Station but we'll let that one slide) What have you done with Ryuk? WHERE IS HIS BODY?
