Mount the .iso Image File

If you created NNLS CDs in the previous section, skip to Install the Server Software.

If you don't have access to a CD burner, you can still install the software on the Linux server by completing the following instructions. However, you will not be able to install and test the following components because they require the NNLS companion CD:

• The GroupWise Collaboration Client as instructed in Accessing NetMail Using the GroupWise Collaboration Client.
• Novell NetDrive as instructed in NetDrive.
• Novell DirXML drivers, which are not actually installed and tested in this guide but are referenced in A Note about DirXML and the DirXML Starter Pack.

To mount the .iso file on your Linux server:

1. If the Novell_Nterprise_Linux_Services_1.0.iso file is not already on the NNLS server, copy it to the server and verify its MD5 checksum value as explained in Step 3.

2. If you have not already done so, access a shell or terminal window on the NNLS server as the root user.

3. Create a directory on the server's file system to serve as a mount point for the image.

   If you have a SuSE system, enter

   mkdir /media/iso

   If you have a Red Hat system, enter

   mkdir /mnt/iso

4. Mount the ISO image by entering one of the following commands.

   On a SuSE system, enter

   mount -o loop /file_path_and_filename /media/iso

   On a Red Hat system, enter

   mount -o loop /file_path_and_filename /mnt/iso

   where file_path_and_filename is the path to the ISO image file copied to the server in Step 1.
