Hello Tom, since I have z/VM 5.4.0 running on our z9 I prefer to use the SYSASCII console. SYSASCII is a JAVA emulation for a ASCII console. You can use VI editor to change files, YAST to customize your linux and Ctrl+C. I really like this possibility.
I do 'attach sysa to lx100', then start the SYSASCII on the HMC, and press enter. After that I see the lx100 login screen. And this works without any active networkadapter in the linux. kind regards, mit freundlichen Grüßen, Horst Rempel BG-Chemie Germany -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] Im Auftrag von Tom Duerbusch Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28.

Using the 3270 console interface...that is... logon Linux68 when linux is finished coming up, if you hit enter, sometimes you get: login: Now, you are a line mode device (3215?) being emulated on a 3270 session. What is a good line mode editor? I thought VI or VIM would be, but you need an ESC key, plus when you vi a member, it streams the member out to the console. And, of course, the cursor commands H, J, K and L don't really work in this world. I'm looking for options when I bring up the rescue system (sles 10.2).
