SUMMARYInformation on the Workstation Installation option (INSTALL /N) is not located in the "Installation and Configuration" manual; instead it is in the INSTALL.TXT file on the Setup disk (Disk 1). Below are the pertinent excerpts from the INSTALL.TXT file.
MORE INFORMATIONThe Workstation Installation option (/N) copies FoxPro initialization files to a local machine so that a shared network version of FoxPro for MS-DOS can be run. Workstation Installation requires less space on individual machines and allows greater administrative control of the use of FoxPro. WORKSTATION INSTALLATION REQUIRES A PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE INSTALLATION.
