SAS CD's not mountable on certain networks via network CDROM server


Certain Network Operating Systems (NOS) can mount CD ROM's such as Novell 3.12. In order to mount the CD, the CD ROM server requires a volume label on the CD. The CD's shipped by SAS Institute currently do not have a volume label. Because of this there is no way to mount the CD. Other products such as the DISCPORT from Microtest can see a CD under their method of mounting. Currently there is no workaround other than to mount the CD on a workstation and XCOPY the \SAS subdirectory from the workstation to a network drive and then install from the network directory.
