Save yourself some pain (btdt). Find a linux or unix machine and make an ISO file from that CD, ftp it up to Linux 390, and then mount -t iso9660 -oloop that file. The DB2 CD seems to be full of symbolic links and things that windows can't get right - even samba mounted.

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?
