### Prerequisites for Installing Portassist in Netware

Here are some considerations for installing Portassist in Netware systems.

##### With and Without CD Drive

If you have a CD drive on your server, you can install the Portassist files directly from the CD.

If you don't have a CD drive on your server, you must install from a Windows client that has a CD drive.

##### DOS- and Novell-Mounted CD Drives

To install from your server CD, you need to know whether you have a DOS-mounted or a Novell-mounted CD device. If it is DOS-mounted, the CD device is assessable to DOS applications and Novell applications without mounting.

##### Mounting the Digi CD

If your CD device is Novell-mounted, you must be sure that all of the Novell CD device drivers are loaded, insert the CD disk, and then mount it using the following command, before you begin your installation: cd mount digi_cd
