- ID: DW Installing QEMM on a diskless workstation.
- Quarterdeck Technical Bulletin #192
- by Yasser Taima
-
- Q: How do I install QEMM on my diskless workstation?
-
- A: Run the INSTALL procedure and put the files on the network,
- then copy the necessary files from the network to the startup
- disk, as shown below.
-
- QEMM refers to any of the following Quarterdeck products:
-
- QEMM-386 for 386, 386SX, and i486 compatible PC's.
- QEMM-50/60 for IBM PS/2 models 50, 60 and 50Z.
-
- The QEMM Install program was written to make QEMM's installation
- as quick and as simple as possible. You can directly install on
- any drive you have EXCEPT the one housing the QEMM diskette
- you're running the Install from.
-
- This means that you cannot run the Install program on a PC with
- only one diskette drive and install to the same drive, a problem
- if you are on a diskless workstation and need to install QEMM to
- a startup disk. Whether you are on a networked or stand alone PC,
- a different approach to installation is required.
-
- 1. If your PC is on a network:
-
- a. Put the QEMM diskette in the diskette drive (usually A:) and
- run INSTALL. Proceed with the installation steps.
-
- To the question, "Where should QEMM and Manifest be installed?"
- answer "F:\QEMMDISK", without the quotation marks. If F: is not
- a network drive on your system, you must use one of your
- other network drives. This will install QEMM on the network.
-
- b. Remove the QEMM diskette and put your network startup diskette
- in the diskette drive.
-
- i. Create a QEMM directory on the startup diskette and copy all
- of the files in F:\QEMM to the A:\QEMM directory:
-
- A:\>mkdir QEMM
- A:\>cd \QEMM
- A:\QEMM>copy F:\QEMM\*.* *.*
-
- Note: If there isn't enough space on the startup diskette for
- all the files, only copy the QEMM386.SYS file:
-
- A:\QEMM>copy F:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS *.*
-
- ii. Use your text editor to modify the config.sys file on the
- startup diskette. You'll need to add the following line
- to the beginning of the config.sys:
-
- DEVICE=A:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS
-
- 2. If your PC is not on a network:
-
- Install QEMM on another PC with a hard disk, then follow the
- above instructions for paragraph 1.b, using C instead of F for
- the drive letter.
-
- Your startup diskette is now ready to go!
-
- Again, please note that F: refers to a typical network drive. If
- you normally use G: or H: or any other letter, replace F: with G:
- or H: or that other letter.
-
- The same applies to the non-network installation. If you use D:
- or any other letter for the PC with the hard disk, replace C:
- with D: or that other letter.
