3.0 is the version for 6.0.1 to get super-technical

>(I haven't actually tried it, though - no AppleShare server!)

The Appleshare Admin Guide gives a bunch of involved directions but you can
break down the install process to two steps:

1. run the installer on the Apple II setup disk to install the necessary
   files on the server machine's boot volume
2. log on to the server as admin and run the IIgs installer and install the
   system on the same server volume 

Once you install the Apple II setup, you MUST go into Appleshare Admin and
check enable Apple II startup service in the prefs and restart the machine.
Then you can go into Admin and set the startup app and printer for each user 
on the network. The Apple II setup creates a folder names USERS on the server
which has a folder for each user. This is where each user can put inits and
finder extensions for his own use, and it contains an ATINIT file for each
user too.
