Patches and notes about Netware 5.0. Not much here as I've never run NetWare 5.
According to TID 10016661, the minimum requirements are:
These are the minimum patches Novell recommends applying as a baseline (as of 9 August 2002). Its probably best to apply them in order starting with the oldest.
| Date | Download | Readme | Notes |
| 2000-12-18 | NW50SP6A.EXE | Readme | NetWare 5.0 Support Pack 6a |
| 2001-03-02 | OS5PT2A.EXE | Readme | Updated Server.exe to resolve PIII Issue |
These were the other patches up on the Novell support site on 18 December 2002 (and so not necessarily considered obsolete). You may wish to browse the readme files to see if there are any worth applying. Some of the later ones certainly will be more recent than whats on the minimum patch list above.
