Re: Migrating from PCS to CA for Win95 (again)

["Tom McArthur" <ThomasMcA@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestions, but I guess I didn't make my original 
post very clear. I'll try again :)

I have 12 or 15 *remote* PCs that I need to upgrade to CA for Win95. 
Making 12 or 15 copies of the 15 disks needed for CA isn't a viable 
solution. Since all of the PCs are already connected to the AS/400, I 
want to MIGRATE them to CA.

How do I do this? What INSTALL program do I run off of Shared 
Folders? I don't see CA there; do I need to run a command on the 400 
to copy QCA400 to QDLS (Shared Folders)???

Since DOS & Win31 can't run 32-bit CA code, I'm guessing that the 
migration will be a multi-step process. What programs do I run for 
each step? 

SUMMARY: Since using disks isn't very practical, how do I migrate 
*remote* PCs from PCS to CA for Win95?

Thanks, and sorry for the original ambiguity.

Tom
