Observations of a Staff Engineer in platform (Linux & AWS; formerly Windows and NetWare in hardware). This started as an academic blog and just kept going. Currently private sector and genderqueer. Not an official blog by any stretch. Really.
For future reference, to install a SYS volume for a NetWare 6 install as Traditional not NSS, the F5 key is to be used to switch. This is not a screen-documented feature, but it does show up in the NetWare documentation.
