- PROBLEM: We have had reported problems with the NetWare 386 v3.1
- upgrade pretending to copy the SYSTEM and PUBLIC files but
- not actually copying them.
-
- SOLUTION: One solution seems to be related to an incompatibility in
- the machine (a Mitsubishi MP386-16). The copy takes place
- in real mode, but the actual transfer of files is in
- protected mode. At this point the Mitsubishi machine could
- not handle a real/protected copy. The current Unisys 386
- machine also has the Mitsubishi mother board.
-
- Another solution was reported by a customer. He flagged the
- SYSTEM and PUBLIC directories as Shareable Read-Write and
- reinstalled the SYSTEM and PUBLIC files, which corrected the
- problem.
