I've used the "one sheet summaries" to install several zVM 5.3 systems, including both DVD and tape media.

Do these cards have value? Absolutely... I used them exclusively, with virtually no reference to the full install manual. (I have installed a number of systems in the past, so I can't say if they are appropriate for a first-time installer.) > 2. If they are valuable, are they usable in their current form? Yes, I like the general content and format, with the exception noted in #3 > 3. If you could make changes to them, what would they be? I would separate out the "first level install" from the "second level install". Either make two separate documents, or make pages 1-2 first level and pages 3-4 second level, then the user could just print the page(s) needed. This would also free up some space to allow the use of larger font. > > My interest in "value" ends when the system is up and ready for more > extensive customization and configuration such as that provided by the > Getting Started with Linux book.
