There are many steps to getting your NetWare® 4.2 server installed and operating with client workstations on a network. A diagram outlining the process is shown under the heading Installation Process Diagram.
Begin by reading Prepare to Install to plan your network and prepare your equipment for installation. If necessary, read Guide to NetWare 4 Networks to plan your Novell Directory tree.
Next, install a new NetWare 4.2 server by following the installation procedures in Simple Installation or Custom Installation.
You can also perform other installation options. Procedures for performing other installation options are included at the beginning of Chapter 3 and at the end of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
Next, install the Novell ClientTM software on each workstation in your network by following the procedures in Installing Novell Clients.

Finally, administer the NetWare 4 network by reading Supervising the Network, which is available online.
You can install a NetWare 4.2 server using either the simple installation or custom installation option.
The simple installation is both quicker and easier to perform than the custom installation.
The custom installation option makes no assumptions and lets you customize your server installation. Additional options, such as spanning volumes across multiple drives and loading and binding TCP/IP and AppleTalk*, are available only in the custom installation option.
Procedures for installing using the simple installation are found in Simple Installation
Procedures for installing using the custom installation are found in Custom Installation
