- Setting LASTDRIVE
-
- LASTDRIVE is a DOS command which is executed at boot time from
- the CONFIG.SYS file. The NetWare Lite NET utility uses LASTDRIVE
- to identify valid drives and provide compatibilty with other
- NetWare products. The installation programs default value of
- LASTDRIVE=M: should work for most situations. If you wish to use
- a value other than M: be aware that LASTDRIVE should be set to G:
- or greater for NET to run. LASTDRIVE is set by including a
- command such as "LASTDRIVE=G:" in CONFIG.SYS. If you attempt to
- run NET with LASTDRIVE set lower than G:, or not set, you will
- have to increase the value of LASTDRIVE and reboot before any NET
- command can be executed.
-
- When LASTDRIVE is set to F: network directories can be mapped to
- any drive letter up to LASTDRIVE (except C: if SERVER is loaded).
- However, F: must be mapped in order to map D: or E:. If the
- situation occurs where D: or E: is mapped and F: is not mapped,
- the LASTDRIVE error message will result upon execution of the
- next NET command. To avoid this problem set LASTDRIVE to G: or
- greater.
