Shared installations are supported today: You can install on a DCSS with xip2fs in Sles8+9, and I think that in the future my execute in place soloution which is in the vanilla kernel tree will also become available on all distributions.

An appliance-type "inflate an forget" installation would definitely help. -- Carsten Otte IBM Linux technology center ARCH=s390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
