Patches and notes about Netware 6.5. Not much here as I've never run NetWare 6.5.
According to the docs, Minimum:
Micro Focus seems to provide SP8 as either updated install CDs (I guess these are for doing a clean install of NetWare + SP8) or an update DVD. The update DVD appeaers to be bootable so perhaps this is really an operating system + products install DVD? There is a minimaldescription of this stuff here but its not super helpful. The zip file isn't mentioned but it appears to be just the support pack on its own. The download page for all this stuff on the Micro Focus website (here, free account required) isn't much help either.

These are all tagged as "Security Alert" so I guess they're security patches.

I'm not a netware expert, don't have any of those fancy novell certifications and have never administred a netware network; I've just played with it at home occasionally since 2004 or so. Email me if you've got any suggestions or corrections for this page or any extra information you think is worth including here. My address is david at this websites domain name (without the www bit of course).
