I can't successfully run Windows 3.0 on a PC when the windows core
programs are loaded on an NFS server.  Since NFS is not listed in the
supported networks, I did the setup without specifying a network type.
Windows is a bit too clever, though: it can tell that I'm using network
drives once I've set it all up locally on a PC (to say nothing of
crashing when I run off a network drive).  Should I specify a network?
If so, which one?  If not, does anyone know how to get Windows running
on PCNFS?

Here's a second question: once Windows is running, it gets very upset
about the unmounted disk drive letters (not unreasonable, really).  I
seem to remember that a program to mark them as unavailable came over
this group some time ago.  Could someone refresh my memory?

Thanks.

-Dean
