Coming soon will be the ability to IPL _and_ install directly from the HMC DVD drive. It'll be a slow as !@$$ but it won't require an installation server somewhere. You'll still need to connect _into_ the system over the network to complete the install (via SSH or VNC) of course. Even that could be avoided if you set up a custom DVD that points to an autoinst.xml file on the DVD itself and use VNC as the installation method. Completely unattended install without a net. :) Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
