I am trying to install windows for a network environment.  Right now, I
am not sure why windows wants to know the type of network it will be
used with.  (We are using PC-NFS 3.0.1 and Banyan Vines 4.0) At this
point we don't have the necessary driver(s) from Banyan to use Vines
4.0 with windows.  So, in the meantime I thought I'd mount a PC-NFS
drive and do the 'expand' that the book requires.  After doing that,
I decided to try and run the setup/n and install it on my 386 machine
for the Vines 4.0 network.  During the install it was asking me for
a file called NETWORK.DRV.  I decided that this must be a file that
comes with Banyan so I thought I'd run the setup/n again but tell
it I had NO NETWORK and see what happens.  It still wanted the
NETWORK.DRV file.  I guess this is because of the '/n' option I specified.

My understanding about windows in a network configuration is that
people will only need to have a few basic files (as opposed to a few MB
of files) on their local hard disk and they will get the rest from
a network drive.

Anyone know what the NETWORK.DRV file is or better yet, where it is???!!
