Well, the Netware *client* install installs it. And I got an error
message from the Netware requester during boot when Netbios loaded
*after* it.
I don't run Netware in peer-to-peer mode. I have a Netware *server*.

Again, this is the Netware client for talking to as Netware *server*,
not the Personal Netware peer-to-peer client. Very different animals.
