Change Log 20000326 - PHB Fixed section B so all email addresses point to the new listserv machine. B.4 - updated the list sysops section B.5 - added a "don't post HTML or MIME" to the netiquette section. 20000317 - PHB Ran a link checker on the FAQ. Changes were then made to the following sections: F.5 - corrected link to eudora's home page E.6 - deleted reference to sdesign, who don't appear to exist at the moment. R.6 and Q.7 - replaced a "moved" link with a general link to "support.novell.com". Novell seem to reorganize their site every few weeks, specific links don't stay valid for long. G.12 - deleted the section, since the link to the product is dead. H.2 - fixed link to www.nmrc.org Note - I only checked http: links, as I am behind a firewall and my link checker doesn't do passive ftp. If anyone with more direct access wants to check the ftp links and mail me the results, it would be appreciated. There are also some links I didn't fix, maybe next version :) C.5 *NEW* Recommended books section. My goal is to consolidate all book recommendations in one place, i.e. I've removed references to books from the following sections: E.8 - deleted whole section I'll be expanding this section soon. C.6 renamed old section C.10 "WWW links" E.3.1 deleted reference to manuals for dead products G.11 fixed link for PCounter H.8 *NEW* HD versus FD ethernet section H.57 deleted section on Y2K patches. If you haven't done this by now... Q.3 deleted obvious suggestion to download Client 32 R.7 "Joe D's .NCF files". moved from C.9.* to the historical section. R.8 "formatting floppies /w boot ROMs" moved from H.9 to the historical section. R.9 "why can't I run 2 IP stacks on a client" moved from E.4 to the historical section. R.10 "using EMM386 with Boot ROM" moved from H.47 to historical section. R.11 "H.49 Windows 3.x BSOD" moved from H.49 to historical section. P.6 *NEW* NMI error <--- MUST ADD MORE DETAIL HERE!!!!! Renamed the following files, which had nasty characters that don't play nicely on some environments: nvfaq-!.txt - renamed to h-o-fame.htm nvfaq-s!.txt - renamed to msc-fame.txt w95&saps.txt - renamed to w95_saps.txt Re-organized the links on the main page. Deleted the following dead mirrors: http://kawnug.oznet.ksu.edu/novell/faq/nov-faq.htm http://amelia.db.erau.edu/novell/faq/nov-faq.htm http://www.meirion-dwyfor.ac.uk/uccuwww/novell.faq http://www2.meirion-dwyfor.ac.uk/uccuwww/novell.faq http://www.ua.pt/novell/nov-faq.htm http://www.nugsa.org.za/novell/nov-faq.htm http://www.coppe.ufrj.br/novell-faq/nov-faq.htm http://naec.mti.bme.hu/novfaq/nov-faq.htm http://alabi.upc.es/~areapc/PUB/INFO/NOVELL/nov-faq.htm http://novell.pc.wa.edu.au/nov-faq.htm http://rc.service.rug.nl/~cat/faq/nov-faq.htm The following sites have mirrors of older versions of the FAQ. I deleted their links as well. http://www.salford.ac.uk/ais/Network/novell/nov-faq.htm http://mft.ucs.ed.ac.uk/novell/faq/nov-faq.htm http://www.dfm.dtu.dk/netware/faq/nov-faq.htm http://www.petena.se/support/novfaq/nov-faq.htm http://www.micro.org/novell/faq/nov-faq.htm Fixed a few minor typos. 20000111 - PHB C. renamed section to "Pointer to other resources" C.1 replaced the "how to use ftp" lesson with a pointer to the Novell user group section of the Novell web site. C.4.* These sections contained a list of the latest files C.5 for older versions of NW. This info is several patches (and OS versions) obsolete. Given the ferocious rate of new patches, I feel it is hopeless to try and keep this current, so I have dropped these sections. C.4 I moved the single section D entry (Novell's phone #s) to section C.4 D.* Section D now deals with NetWare security and password issues. D.1 *NEW* section on misc. security info D.2 moved section H.14 to a more appropriate spot, and updated info about LASTHOPE.NLM D.3 *NEW* What to do if you've lost your ADMIN password. D.4 *NEW* What to do if you've deleted your ADMIN account H.6 updated to reflect NW2.x and 4.x. H.17 deleted section with very stale pointers to NIC vendors' driver archives. Maintaining this would be a full time job, and provide limited benefit, so I've dumped it. H.34 fixed formatting so that the information in the table was more legible Q.1 *NEW* section on pros/cons of the various Win95 NW clients Q.8 deleted collection of stale/dead Win95 links R. this has become the historical section. I have "archived" the following entries from the old FAQ... I.2 sample STARTNET.BAT (NETX) I.3 sample STARTNET.BAT (VLMs) I.4.* general DOS requestor tuning (memory, performance, etc.) I.5 sample AUTOEXEC.NCF (VLMs) Q.1 net booting Win95 /w VLMs Q.12 VLMs with Windows 95 S.86 deleted discussion about various betas of NW5.0 trimmed 2BEADDED.TXT as I added that info to the FAQ. deleted NOV-W98.TXT (it only had info about the W98 beta) changes pointers in all of the .TXT files to current FAQ maintainer 19991217 - PHB This changelog was introduced. All FAQ maintainer info now (hopefully!) points to Peter Burtt (phb@nbnet.nb.ca) Various cosmetic changes to index page. A.2 gutted the redundant list of mirrors, pointed to the list on the index page. B.5 updated to reflect current state of ~3000 list members B.7 deleted reference to an HTML archive of the FAQ that seems to be about 1 year dead. Added pointer to Joe D's searchable list archives, and the FAQ search tool. C.4.4.1 deleted dead link pointing to "a list of most current NLMs". C.6 deleted dead link pointing to Novell patches & upgrades C.10 added a section with (hopefully) useful links. I hope to expand this soon... H.8 deleted section about NT requestor H.10.1.2 updated section on UIMPORT H.10.1.4 *NEW* section on BULKLOAD.NLM H.49 updated to specify Win 3.x i.e. most people associate BSOD with WinNT. (wonder why? :) ) M. replaced the rather obsolete CNE section with a pointer to the Novell Education website. N.7 *NEW* section on CDROMs - save fuss by just copying to HD. R. deleted the section on text editors. This section hadn't been touched in years, and everyone already has an opinion.
