Is it a safe instalation, Why?
If it's an NT 4 server, you can install 95 to any client machine dead easily.
(on the NT machine) - Go into Program, Admin tools (common), make installation client disk. Choose to make a 95 client disk. You'll need the NT4 cd in the drive.
Put the floppy produced in your client and boot up. You will hopefully get connected across the network to the NT4 Server CD. Now 95 installation begins.

Yes you get windows 95 on the NT 4 server CD as well!

Then continue as a normal install.
I have to say in one Netware 4.11 Server.

Yes, I've loaded Win95 to several PCs from a server. I'd recommend doing the following;

1. Create a directory on the Netware server where you can store the Win95 files.
2. From the Windows 95 CD, copy all the files and subdirectories from the Win95 directory to the new directory on the server.
3. To install to a PC, login as a user that can see the server directory where you've stored the Win95 files and run SETUP to install it to the client.
4. If the PC that Win95 is being installed to has enough disk capacity, it may also be worth copying all the files to the PC's HDD for future tailoring etc.
5. Add any new drivers etc. as they come along to the server so that they're in a central location and can therefore be accessed and applied from anywhere on your network.

I hope this helps
I know how install win95 in server based setup, but I want to know if this instalation works well using Floppy disk startup and what king of problems I will have with it.

Are you saying that you want to create a boot disk that will load all of the drivers for a pc to be able to access a Novell network and then install Win95?

Mike
I have a boot floppy disk created by win95 setup that I use to startup the machine and access novell network with a valid user, but all I want to know is if this instalation is safe and all my users will be working without problems. I want the comment from someone who actuality use this type of instalation or used it before and what I can wait from it? .

Thank you.
