Novell products.
To perform the manual installation of the Novell NetWare Device Drivers, or
installation without SmartStart, execute the following procedure:
1. Launch the SmartStart CD as described previously in this chapter.
2. Launch manual the operating system configuration:
a. Select the System Configuration Utility.

Configuration Utility main menu.
3. Follow the instructions provided for the operating system you are
installing.
