Hi Warren,

My info comes from here:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/s390-multi-install-guide/s1-steps-network-installs.html#S2-STEPS-NETWORK-INSTALL-ISO

Basically, you will need to set up a remote "Installation Server" that
provides the ISO images via NFS, FTP or HTTP ... then, when you IPL your
VM guest, you will point it to the Installation Server, then the
installer will be able to start the installation process ...

HTH,

Brock
