When I run the SETUP program on a AST 286 with a Paradise VGA 16Plus and a
Earthcard ARCNET card connected to our Novell 2.12SFT network, it cannot copy
win.ini from the installed copy on the server.

I've installed the 3.01 Windows version of the Netware shells.

I've attempted installions with the shared files on network drives F: and G:

I've tried with no TSR, and empty autoexec.bat and config.bat files.

I've tried with Novell's replacement file installed to solve possible problems 
with IRQ2 conflects.

I've called Microsoft and talked to a real person, and listened to their
recorded information system.

I've called Novell and they suggested I call my installer - but I've been unable
to get an answer.

HELP!  Has anyone installed Windows 3.0 on a Novell network?
