This game checks the label of the CD drive so you if you have mounted your CD image:

mount d: /mnt/cdrom -label GDI
mount d: /mnt/cdrom -label NOD

In Windows you may need to include '-t cdrom':

mount d: d:\ -t cdrom -label GDI

If you are working with ISO images:

imgmount d: /home/user/NOD.iso -t iso

Once you have mounted the CDROM, switch to the drive and run setup.exe

If you encounter an error regarding setup.mix, ensure you have mounted the disk with '-t cdrom'.

This game supports both modem and IPX play
