That sounds like it should fit, actually.  My Debian image (bz2 compressed
CCKD) is only 54M, and there are not really that many Linux/390
distributions out there.

It would be relatively easy to create a Knoppix CD with the Hercules deb
installed, include a bunch of DASD images, and add a few icons to the KDE
desktop to launch them.  No installation required; just boot the CD and
click the mouse.

I don't have the time or inclination to work on this, but would be willing
to provide assistance with the Debian side of things if someone else does.
