Adding system components on existing installing

[Bernhard Pöttinger]

Hi,
I want install 'IBM File and Print Services' on an existing ArcaOS installation. Clean, I can add Netbios or Netbios over TCP/IP in MPTS, but what about the rest of that?
Thx bernhard

You can select it from the installer when you start from scratch. Be aware you can't run IBM Peer/LanMan over TCP/IP at the same time with Samba. But you can add in NAPS Netbios only (and not Netbios over TCP/IP). Then it should work side by side with Samba (server and client/ArcaMapper). You also have to take care that \ibmlan\netprog does not come before your unixroot in path. Or rename \ibmlan\netprog\net.exe to f.i. neti.exe.

Everything is greyed out accept of samba server. 'IBM File and Print Client' is greyed out and checked; The Folder IBMLAN has only one File IBMLAM.INI.

Hi Bernhard

Do you already have samba client installed? - You may need to uninstall samba before installing File and Print Client.

Do you have a BootDrive:\IBMLAN directory? If "Yes" you could try installing from  BootDrive:\IBMLAN\INSTALL\LANINST.EXE

Hi Bernhard

Sorry, forgot to add the DVD/ISO location :\CID\SERVER\IBMLS\IBM500R1\LANINST.EXE

Not sure what parameters you need if any ...

Evidently your IBMLVL.INI profile thinks File and Print Client is already installed.

In a command prompt, go to <bootdrive>\sys\install and run

Code: [Select]

netinst /debug
The console window should tell you where it's (allegedly) installed to.

If it's not installed there, you may need to delete the IBM_LS -> PATH key from your <bootdrive>\IBMLVL.INI file (using your preferred INI file editor).

Hi all,
and thanks for your help. I am one step further. The Installer starts when starting it with S:\CID\Server\IBMLS\IBM500R1\Install.cmd (S: is my DVD Drive). After I had all configured the installer wants "OS/2 Peer Diskette 1". How can I tell the installer using the files on the installer dvd.
best regards

The problem with the greyed out "IBM File- and Print Client" is solved. Now I have the problem that the installer wants a floppy disk "OS/2 Peer Diskette 1".

Why does the solution above resolve the issue ? I am asking this with reason...
You see there is areason the option is greyed out in the Selective Install for networking....
Did you look at Alex his advise for IBMLVL.INI ?

Hi Bernhard

Do you have the following line in your config.sys?

   SET LANINSTEP=V:\CID\SERVER\IBMLS

Change V: to whatever your dvd drive is.

Not sure but think that guides the install process to the files on cd/dvd.

Pete while your advise I am certain is well intended, however it can have unintended side consequences.
I know selective install for networking does more then just run the IBM peer installer.
Selective install runs shufctrl and maybe some other stuff. Alex Taylor wrote the code for AN. So perhaps its better if Bernard follows Alex his suggestions. And not
take a possible shortcut.

Hi Roderic,
the reason why the IBM Peer Services ist greyed out is because I have canceled the installation after the installer has asked me for the floppy disk. I have started the installer and choose "Remove Peer Services" and the I could try it once more. And yes Alex is right, the system thinks the peer services are installed. I have seen this with "netinst /debug" as Alex has written.
So my big problem is that the installer wants floppy disks!
