Connecting to 6.5 server

**cgonzo** · February 16th, 2005, 02:23 PM

our network used to run Netware 5x and were able to create bootable floppy disks that allowed us to connect to the servers via IPX. Now we are on a 6.5 network. Is it still possible to create a bootable disk (floppy or CD) to connect to a netware server?
What I want to do is create a clone image of my workstations save the image on the netware server, then if the computers get messy, just boot and restore image.
Okay, I know that Zenworks has this imaging built in. but still, is it possible to boot and connect to a 6.5 server?

even with ZEN works this can be a pain. the problem with ZEN is having to add drivers the bootable CD image becasue for the most part ZEN dosent support allot of the new gigabit cards.

as to creating a boot floppy to connect try barts network boot disk at:

Thanks for the reply. I found a cool disk here: www.veder.com/nwdsk that does exactly what I want it to do.
