Installing SLES 12 SP 2 on z/VM 6.4

Hello, all. Has anyone here been able to successfully install the latest SuSE SLES 12 SP 2 on z/VM 6.4? I'm trying to do so today, but I'm getting a "can't create the repository" error during the install process. Thanks, and have a good one. DJ -- ITC-email-sig *David Jones **|**Managing

I have created a Ubuntu ooRexx 4.2 .deb install file for the s390x architecture, 64 bit. It has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS running as a guest of z/VM 6.3. If anyone would like it, it can be found here: http://www.vsoft-software.com/oorexx_4.2.0-1_s390x.deb If anyone want the 32 bit
