DESCRIPTION:  Unpacks the files needed to create a bootable diskette 
for the Network Client for MS-DOS/Windows for Armada 6500 Series 
notebooks running any of the above operating systems.

NOTE: If you are running Windows NT and your hard drive uses the NTFS 
file system, when you boot from the diskette you will not be able
to access your hard drive from DOS.  After you restart your system with
the Windows NT operating system on the hard drive, you will be able to 
access your NTFS file system again as usual.

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a temporary, empty directory on your 
hard drive.  The file downloaded is a self-extracting executable 
with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 
Enter "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files into the download directory. 

3. After the files have been unpacked, you may delete the self-extracting 
file downloaded in step 1.

4. Obtain a blank formatted diskette.  To create the Network Client 
diskette, run QRST5.EXE from the \NETBOOT directory that is created when 
the files are unpacked and follow the on-screen directions.  

5. After the diskette has been created, you may delete the files 
from the download directory if you wish.

6. To run the Network Client, first shut down the notebook, insert the 
created diskette, then turn on the notebook and allow it to boot from the 
diskette.
