If you can avoid Novells cd-rom nlm solution. It takes ages to mount a cd-rom, costs you valuable 
server memory and makes booting your server very slow. Use an external device, the type you use 
depends on your needs (what sort of clients need to use the cd-rom, do they need fast access etc.) 

You will find the atricle in PC-Magazine usefull (January 9, 1996).
