MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES

DOCUMENTATION UPDATES

In working towards the goal of providing a more streamlined
documentation product with the Novell SSD, the following individual
readme files will no longer be included as of this release:

  * Clients.rdm
  * Network.rdm
  * SMP.rdm
  * Srv_Mgmt.rdm
  * Storage.rdm

These files are in the process of being converted into TechNotes
and/or WhitePapers providing expanded coverage and more robust
information to the existing documents.  These papers will be published
on the Compaq website and notification of their publication will be
noted in this section of the Novell SSD.

In the meantime, should you require these files for reference, please
consult NSSD 5.01 or earlier located on the Compaq website,
http://www.compaq.com, or via ftp.compaq.com. using the appropriate
SoftPaq number.  The SoftPaq numbers for the last two releases of the
Novell SSD are:

  * NSSD 5.01, SoftPaq 8008 (disk), 8009 (cd)
  * NSSD 3.22, SoftPaq 5701

As always, your feedback and concerns are welcome at
[email protected].


HOW TO USE:

 1. Download the SoftPaq into a directory and change to that 
    directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
    a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

 2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
    and follow the on-screen instructions. A new directory will be
    created named "NSSD_B.502", and the NSSD files will be expanded
    into a that directory and subdirectories will be created.

 4. After the NSSD has been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file
    downloaded in step 1.

 5. For installation instructions, refer to INSTALL.RDM in the directory
    that you expanded the SoftPaq.
