<P>AFS<SUP>(R)</SUP> is an enterprise file system that provides consistent
|
||
|
|
file access by way of a shared filespace. By joining the local file
|
||
|
|
systems of several File Server machines, AFS presents a single filespace
|
||
|
|
independent of machine boundaries. Files are stored on different
|
||
|
|
machines in the computer network but are accessible from all machines across
|
||
|
|
the enterprise.

You can install the components of AFS for Windows in various combinations,
|
||
|
|
based on your Windows operating system. Refer to the <I>IBM AFS for
|
||
|
|
Windows Release Notes</I> for details on the specific software requirements
|
||
|
|
for each AFS for Windows component. Note that if you are installing the
|
||
|
|
AFS Server, you must also install the AFS Client, unless the AFS Client,
|
||
|
|
version 3.6 is already installed on the machine. Follow the
|
||
|
|
installation procedure described in <A HREF="#HDRHOWTOINSTALL">To Install AFS for Windows</A> regardless of the components you are installing.

perform a client-only installation, create the file <B>setup.co</B>

in the same directory as the other installation files; the setup program
|

then only allows the AFS Client to be installed. Note that the contents

you can install this release of AFS for Windows on your system

<I>without</I> removing or unconfiguring your existing software. To

previous-version AFS component is upgraded and the AFS configuration

information is preserved.

<P>On a Windows 95 or Windows 98 machine, you must uninstall the
