As has been pointed out on Groklaw, the report's title is incorrect.
These issues do not affect Linux _users_, only Linux _distributors_, or
companies embedding Linux in devices (who are in fact distributors).

Hello all,
I've been hunting around for this answer but as yet I haven't found it
so I'll pitch it here. I'm still building our zLinux system on Suse in

dasd will be assigned the next logical device node. What happens when I
The next one will become /dev/dasdaa, but you will need to create the
device nodes for it. This information is in the device drivers manual
that is available on the developerworks site. If you check the archive
you may find a script that does that for you (or it may even be in the
book).

Hi,
Forgive the newbie question. Its's been awhile since we messed with the
Linux/390 (SuSE) LPAR here. We are adding a new OSA Express card and
need to know how/where to configure this. We would like to have both to
begin with.
Thanks,
Craig
Is the system already up and running with one, and you are going to set
up a second? If so, YaST works very well to discover and configure the
second OSA.

I would rephrase that to say you _may_ need to create the device nodes.
Check /dev/dasd* to see what the Linux distribution provider ships, then
you'll know.

Mike,
In your mksles9root.sh for SP3, is there a mixup ?
Your script lines (see the echo's below) say 3 SP3's will be built into
tree sp1root
And 2 SP1's will be built in tree sp3root.
Should it be SP3's in tree sp3root, and SP1's in tree sp1root?

John,

Yes, you are correct. Good catch.
I haven't checked where they actually are put; not up on

Hi,
Does anybody know a site that has the Centos ISO images for S390
available? All the mirrors appear to have bittorrent files, and
installing bittorrent at work could get me into some trouble. Home is on
a 56K dial-up, so that's not really an option either. And no, I don't
have a budget to buy
I would imagine that it isn't the mirrors making a decision to only
offer bittorrents, but the CentOS project itself. I doubt anyone has
.iso files for the mainframe.
Personally, I still don't understand the desire to download .iso images.
You still have turn play games to make an installable

It's not an assumption, and you cut out my qualifying statements. It
absolutely does depend on your goals. For companies that want to embed
an OS and not disclose their own source code (for whatever reason), the
GPL is absolutely out of the question.

IBM recently announced the availability of HLASM for Linux on
zSeries, as PRPQ 5799-TCQ. It is fully compatible with HLASM
on the current MVS, CMS, and VSE operating systems, and can
generate the ELF object format as well as the traditional OBJ
and GOFF formats.
