You ran into some IBM S/390-special terms (ZIPL, IPL, DASD). Since these are common terms in the S/390-World which are understood by S/390-people I think you should not try translate them. Nevertheless here come the explanations: IPL means "Initial Program Load" and is called "booting" on other platforms. Citing from the ZIPL manpage: "ZIPL is used to make either dasds or tapes bootable for system IPL or system dump." which means that ZIPL corresponds to the i386-lilo. DASD means "Direct Acces Storage Device" and is called "harddisk" on other platforms. Hope this helps? Jochen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
