When I installed CentOS recently, I downloaded to my PC, checked the MD5 sum (an important step, saves lots of grief later) and installed a VNC viewer on Windows. I then FTPed the ISO to an empty disk on an existing Linux guest and pointed the Apache web server to that directory. I used an HTTP install from that point as per the instructions at http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-ig-s390-multi-en-4/.

I would like to updated this to a current version of CentOS v4.2. I have downloaded the ISO on to DVD. When I look at the folders under MSWindows I don't see what I expected to see. When I downloaded SuSE on to CD I had a number of CD's with the first being the IPL copy. On the CentOS DVD I find Diskinfo Centos - Base - Comps Comps.rpm Hdlist Hdlist2 Hdstg2.img Netstg2.img Stage2.img Trans Rpms - A number of rpm files Trans Generic GPL Headers - A number of header files Images - Generic Initrd.img Kernel.img Trans Repodata - Release-notes RPM-GPG-KEY RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 SRPMS - Trans Yumgroups Since this is a s390 install I don't have access to a DVD on the mainframe. I would like to move the appropriate files/folders to the SuSE Linux partition to populate the DASD with the CentOS Linux. What file/folders do I need to create an IPLable CentOS disk? How do I transfer this to the disk? A quick how to would be great. Ruddy A.
