Using Novell Directory Services (Nds) With Netware 5; Using The Xwindows Gui; With Netware 5; Using Consoleone With Netware 5 - Compaq ProSignia 200 Integration Notes

NetWare 5: At Your Command
To launch any NLM or to connect to remote servers for file manipulations, this management
utility's commands are extended and also apply to the remote file system.
To view all version and date information for a specific CDM, DSK, HAM (Host Adapter
Module), LAN, NLM, or PSM (Platform Support Module) file, just highlight the file and press
Enter.
To delete the highlighted file or directory tree, just press Del.
To view a menu of appropriate file or directory commands and functions, highlight the file or
directory and press Tab (the majority of CPQFM.NLM functions are under the Tab menu).

Using Novell Directory Services (NDS) with NetWare 5

A well-integrated family of directory-based services, NDS helps you to centrally manage user
access privileges and security across the Internet and your enterprise intranets and extranets. Of
prime importance, it provides proxy, firewall, and virtual private network services. And, even if
you don't install NetWare 5, you can use this great directory service on most networking systems.
But you probably already know all that.
What you might not know is that to install NDS, as well as NetWare 5 itself, you must have a
Network Interface Controller (NIC) already installed with the proper driver. Without a functional
NIC, your NDS installation is doomed for failure. So plan ahead for this installation.
Using the XWindows GUI with NetWare 5
Do you have any other advice in
this area? It looks a little scrawny.
a little tricky, but there are many examples in the file itself. With some experimenting you should
be able to launch your favorite programs with only a few clicks on the XWindows menu.
Note: Just to be safe, we recommend that you first make a backup of a working FVW2RC5XX.
To prevent XWindows from loading at startup, remark, or comment out, the STARTX.NCF line
from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file by adding REM or (#) or (;) to the beginning of the line.
To kill the XWindows GUI and immediately return to the command prompt, press and hold the
Ctrl and Alt keys while simultaneously pressing the Backspace key.
Think about this last XWindows GUI tip for a minute. The ability to easily load and unload the
GUI while the system keeps churning away is a tremendous boost to your systems' performance.

Using ConsoleOne with NetWare 5

Whew! There's a lot of confusion with ConsoleOne, the ConsoleOne GUI, the Java Console, the
Java GUI, the Java X-GUI, and the XWindows GUI. Maybe it's because Java is the buzzword of
the Internet, and we all love to drop those buzzwords amongst our Internet buddies. Right? GUI is
also a great buzzword. And face facts, GUI just sounds like state-of-the-art computerese.
However, we often misuse this terminology until it becomes an imbedded definitions in our
personal technology database. So let's clear the air and start speaking the same lingo.
First of all, ConsoleOne is Novell's management application software—written in Java—that
brings data closer to the user with no loss of control. Java is an Internet–standard programming
