Ok I've done my homework and I've talked to my tech school's network admin. Apparently the only version of netware that can be installed via scripts is 4.5, running on a certain Compaq model. Well I have version 6.5 OES given to me by the course, and my network admin says scripts will not work. So does anyone know how to install with scripts for Netware 6.5 OES or know of some other way. I know already I can't use SSH or telnet. And, when it is installed, how can I utilize the system? Since I have a copy of it here I can play around with it on a machine, but need to know, as we are getting to Novell after Christmas! Has anyone used Novell Netware before? And if it isn't 6.5, what version and what methods did you use?

Have you posted on computing.net? I kno its kinda annoying that all im doing is redirecting you, but they have a hole forum on novel there and will have many people that are much more knolidgeable than us on here - no affence anyone.
The only reason I say this is that I don't think you'd have to aproach it from an accessability angle, I mean sure, mension it if you want, but i'm sure there are sited admins that just want to automate more of there setup, so an answer on there souldn't be to hard to come by.
Fyi - theres a blind sys admin on here called barry, you could try pm'ing him or he might come along and post.
Hth.

the automated install is one thing but when it is installed, how would I use it? Could I use a vt100 connection like minicom in linux to manage it?
