We have a lot of data in IMS Database in OS/390. Is there any way to access it for some web applications to be done in Linux/390. Is there any open-source or proprietory solution for it? Thanks in Advance, Samy Rengasamy. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi,
I had the same problem. I don't think you can actually do it. The way we got round it was to load the CD on the desktop and use SMB to install it. You could also you a FTP server as well.

Linux is now started and the two disk drives have been formatted. YAST has also been started, the language has been selected and the "Installation from CD-ROM" has just been selected and now YAST is asking me to chose a type of CD-ROM from a list that is displayed on my Telnet (login to root) session from a PC on the LAN. The problem is that, no matter which type of CD I choose, none is accepted and so cannot continue with the installation. Thanks very much for the answer you already gave me. All my best regards.

No, no... even though you have a CD-ROM with the stuff, you're not installing from CD-ROM in the sense YaST means. I assume you loaded from CD in the MP3000, and now that you have the network up you take the CD to a Linux machine on your network, and then use the install via FTP or NFS. I think you could even use the AWSFBA emulated I/O driver to get the .iso image of the CD into the S/390 partition as a 3370 type device (at least that works for P/390). Unfortunately OS/2 does not allow you to do it straight from the CD-ROM (and ASWFBA wants it to be writeable if I recall correctly). If you only have the CD you can use another Linux machine to make an iso image from it with the 'dd' command. If you started off with a downloaded iso image you can ftp that to the OS/2 disk and use it. Rob = --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online at Yahoo!
