You could try to set up a Novell emulator under Linux but setting up Samba is much easier. Just install Samba on the Linux machine and instal the 'Client for Microsoft Networks' on the Win95 machine. Also install the tcp/ip protocol in Win95 and you are all setup. You now only need to configure the server and you are ready.
Note that this works both ways. Win95 also has a server and there is a Samba client for Linux. > If you help me to learn how to configure the fileserver with Linux > then I will write a howto under the terms of GNU to help others newbies > like me to that. You don't need to. There already is a SMB-HOWTO and Samba comes with some examples. Remco -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
