Installing Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Over a Network Network installation is used primarily for installing or upgrading Microsoft Windows NT Workstation over a local area network. It can also be used to install additional drivers or files with Windows NT.  This capability does not imply the grant of a site license for Microsoft Windows NT Workstation and should only be used to install the operating system on computers for which the appropriate software license has already been obtained. Use this installation method if you or your organization opt to deploy Windows NT using a distribution share point over a network connection. The Windows NT installation that is completed when you first turn on the computer creates an I386 directory. This directory and its subdirectories provide the Compaq-specific integration of Windows NT for your computer model. This image, license permitting, can be used as a distribution share point to deploy Windows NT over a network connection. To use distribution share point to install or upgrade Windows NT, see the Windows NT Resource Kit and its documentation. Installing or Upgrading Device Drivers If you wish to install hardware devices such as a printer, a display adapter, a network adapter, or other device after the Windows NT installation is completed, Windows NT needs access to the appropriate software drivers for the devices. The I386 directory and its subdirectories provide the Compaqspecific integration of Windows NT for your computer model and include device drivers supported by Windows NT. When prompted for the I386 directory on the Windows NT CD, replace the path specification with C:\I386 or use the browse button of the dialog box to browse the computer for the I386 folder. This points Windows NT to the appropriate drivers and allows installation of the device to be completed. 1-2 Getting Started
