Mark, I found the info. Not very encouraging.
http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/special_oco_rh_2.4. shtml Looks like no Red Hat install until next year...

Are you sure about that? I didn't need to add anything for SuSE 7.0, SLES1 and SLES7 to work. Is there a URL to get the IBM OCO modules? If I added the OCO modules, would my dialogue responses then be correct?

You'll have to download the appropriate level yourself (2.4.9), and follow the instructions Red Hat provides to include them in your initial ram disk for the install. You'll also have to make sure that the module(s) get copied to your target system so they'll be there for the "real" IPL. Since the Red Hat distribution has gone GA, I would recommend downloading the files for that which are different from the RC2 version, and using the GA code. There shouldn't be a huge difference, but why not be current?
