Normal place to download is:

http://www.bsp-gmbh.com/turnkey/tk3_faq.html#q001

This is the usual file that people start with:

C:\download>unzip -v turnkey-mvs-3.zip
Archive:  turnkey-mvs-3.zip

Number 1 would be the full system, and number
2 would be a mini system.  So you want number 1.

However, you must be running something different
to TK3, because this is normal to see:


  MVS 3.8J System Installation/Generation:


  1. Install MVS Tur(n)key system - standard setup                   Debug: off
  2. Install MVS Tur(n)key system - simple setup                      ANSI: on
  3. Install MVS Starter system and SYSGEN files
  x. Exit

and again, number 1 is what you normally choose.
