I wouldn't mess with DEBINST. These are not Debian-official kernel images; they're what I happen to be running. I'd put these on your clients (that is, the boxes you installed from DEBINST), if you want to play with them. FTP the kernel-*.deb files there and then do a dpkg -i <debfile> to install them. Installing kernel-image will run zipl for you. However, if you've modified zipl to do multiboot, you'll have to run zipl -m on your own. Be aware that if you're using an OCO module to get to the network, that you need to have the 2.4.19 qeth driver downloaded and ready to slap into /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/s390/net before you reboot. It's not in the .deb package. If you've been running 2.4.17 and you reboot with a 2.4.19 kernel, you won't be able to see the network unless you install the OCO drivers yourself. Adam
