Hi, I'm trying to install ThinkBlue 7.1a in a virtual Linux instance under z/VM 4.2 and am running into problems. Here is the background.
My coworker downloaded the ISO and created a CD from ISO #1 using xcd-roaster on a RedHat7.1 Linux system. I created a 1000 cylinder minidisk on an existing SuSe 7.0 for s/390 Linux instance, mounted it under directory /dasdc, and FTP'ed the contents of the CD onto it from the CD drive on a Windows 2000 PC. I created the ThinkBlue Linux instance and followed the readme on the CD to where I am booting a temp kernel from my VM reader. I am using QDIO with a gig/e OSA card as my network connection. I am able to telnet to the Blue instance and start "tbsetup". I see that the LIST file is copied into the /tmp/dest/tmp directory, but when it goes to process the RPMs I get this message for each one: error: /mnt/dest/tmp/basesystem-7.0-2.noarch.rpm does not appear to be a RPM package Here is an installation where I pressed ctrl-c after the first message: --begin install log-- Mounting filesystems... Installing packages... --22:12:01-- ftp://10.134.8.127/dasdc/ThinkBlue/base/list => `/mnt/dest/tmp/list' Connecting to 10.134.8.127:21... connected! Logging in as anonymous ...

When I let the script run, It generates the error messages very quickly, I don't see any files actually being copied from the FTP server. Any ideas? Thanks, Jim Peddycord
