Anyone that can help me, I would greatly appreciate it!  I am the network

There are a few students who appear to have been able to use a supervisor
password!  I don't know how they got it, but they can use it to do almost
anything!  I would like to know what harm they could possibly do and if they
could access their grades.  Is it really a big deal to have that password?
I apologize for my lack of knowledge of Netware; I am rather new at this.
Could someone please help me?!  I am afraid to tell the sysadmin about this;
he'll probably kill me!

When I have the 5 user license would I have to re-install from scratch or is

Dave,
The mirroring starts when you select it..  It will take quite a while on
large drives with lots of data..  Do NOT shutdown till you get a message the
partitions are in sync (or such)..
If this is a home machine, its best not to run anything else while mirroring
is doing this..  Its much faster on 2 empty drives before installing
tware..

	It sounds like you don't have any free space available.  The install
works just like it does under DOS.  The first part of the install
copies the netware files to your DOS (or OS/2) drive.  The second part
starts Novell and then you mount SYS and finish the install.  If you
don't have any free space (unpartitioned, unvolumed space is needed
here in fdisk it's called "Free space").  That unused space will be
used by Novell for the SYS volume.
