Thanks, our FTP server is not intel UNIX or windows. We have copied the SUSE CD's to an MVS USS HFS and are trying to access this directory structure for pulling the installation files. Has anyone tried this? Thanks again, Al Schilla State of Minnesota

I ended up using WAR-FTPD version 1.67-05 on a windows box. I believe the key was to have the ftp server set up to go directly to the cd-rom drive with an alias of CDROM. If you are using another Linux or Unix box, make sure the cdrom is mounted as CDROM.
