Well, the hard drive on my Windows/2000 PC failed and was replaced with
all new software...too bad very little of the new software is something
I use..
So, I'm in the process of rebuilding all of my customazations....ugly
process.
In the Explorer window, I set up my CD as a shared device with a share
name of "D".
Over in Linux/390, I can bring up yast
Software
Change source of Installation
And the Software Source Media (for SAMBA) seems to be intact and
when I test it against the Suse CDs, it works fine.
However, I can't get to the DB2 for Linux on S390 CDs.
I assume that DB2 isn't setup for Yast installation, and the fan fold
card that comes with DB2 "Installing DB2 Univeral Database or DB2
Connect for Linux on S/390" shows an example mount for NFS:
mount -t nfs -o ro nfservername:/cdrom /local_directory_name
However, I think that Windows shares are more like Samba and this nfs
mount doesn't work.
I'm having troubles getting the mount command to mount a CD that is
being shared by Windows/2000. I did this before. I have DB2 runing on
another Linux image. It seems like I lost something (I am loosing my
mind<G>), but the only thing that was lost was PC related. But it seems
that this is a "mount" problem.
Anyone have a sample mount command for mounting a CD shared by
Windows/2000?
Or am I going down the wrong road again, and the DB2 installation is
done via another method?
Thanks
