- This happens because MS-DOS and W4W sees Disk Services as Floppy Disks
- rather than network disks (try FORMAT x: where x is a disk service).
- We got around this by installing onto a file service, and XCOPYing the
- files onto a disk service.

- When you perform a network installation, it copies all the files onto
- the network device. You then have to install each workstation
- indivually. Run setup/n to configure each workstation (and follow the
- instructions in the manual for everything else). Quite a bit of MS
- Office network installation is documented in the relevant readme.txt
- or network.txt files.
