Basically, mount the DVD on a Linux/Intel box. NFS export that mount point. On z/OS or z/Linux, do an NFS import of the Linux/Intel exported filesystem. In the case of z/OS, be sure to do a BINARY mount. The files on the DVD will look like normal, read-only, UNIX files. Don't ask me about Windows. I don't _do_ Windows.
