This might be an option. Would I boot from the CD, then when that is complete, put db2 cd in and nfs it? If this is the case couldn't I NFS from W2K? I think I installed the NFS feature for w2k a while back for another project. Steve

Once you're done, you can shut down, and reboot back into Windows without ever having touched the hard drive.

I guess I should have qualified a little more. Mounting the cd on an x86/Linux box is not an option. I am running W2K prof. This W2K box has an ftp server running on it. I (we) have a z800 running VM 4.3, I have a Linux quest on VM that I can ftp to or from. This linux quest will also be the one I want to run db2 on. How can I do this with the previously mentioned environment?
