I've managed to get the IPL the kernel in a VM guest and can telnet into = the installation program from a linux workstation but I can only get so = far as selecting an installation type. My choices are NFS, FTP, HTTP, or DASD. I've got the .iso images on CDs but my problem is now how to get them = onto the vm guest (now running the install program). As far as I can tell from the available documentation (I will not = expound on my frustration at this point) I must BE a server for the = first three methods and I'm not. That leaves DASD as an install method = and from what I can tell (gurgle) I must somehow move the .iso files to = the VM guest. Where to put them and how to get them, however, remains a = mystery. So, my question is: how do I move the .iso files to VM and are .iso = files OK or do they somehow have to be extractetd into the RPMS, etc. in = order for this to work. Where do I put them? How does dasdb1 and dasdc1 = play into this? Is there ANY documentation suited to a mainframer = anywhere out there? wow! ------=_NextPart_000_0003_01C73B13.7A56E140 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.3020" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I've got to say that this is not a = trivial=20 task.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I've managed to get the IPL the kernel = in a VM=20 guest and can telnet into the installation program from a linux = workstation but=20 I can only get so far as selecting an installation type.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>My choices are NFS, FTP, HTTP, or=20 DASD.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I've got the .iso images on CDs but my = problem is=20 now how to get them onto the vm guest (now running the install=20 program).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>As far as I can tell from the available = documentation (I will not expound on my frustration at this point) I = must BE a=20 server for the first three methods and I'm not.
