Yes, I've installed Windows 3.0 onto our file server, running
Advanced NetWare 286 v2.15 (not absolutely sure of version).
We have a small token ring 16Mbps, I had to shgen Windows 3.0
compatible IPX.COM and NETx.COM programs, and install a slew of
replacement Netware commands such as FLAG.EXE, LOGIN.EXE and the
like.  About 15 programs were replaced in all.  The docs with
the fix package mentioned it was to support a 'fake root', 
which is evidently required by Windows and a number of other
packages.  Once this was done, I simply created a SYS:APPS/WINDOWS
directory and ran setup off drive A: on my PS/2 workstation.
I had *no* difficulty installing the Windows and it is running
just fine on our LAN.
