The quickest way is to have a FTP server... The question I like to know ,
do you have a LINUX machine running else where and allow FTP.
You might need this server to ssh
You can then create a directory and account(userid) on that server...
i.e.
. mkdir /SuSE9CD
. useradd suse9inst -d /SuSE9CD
. passwd <- set the password
. cp -dpR /media/cdrom /SuSE9CD ,<-- do these two step for all 6 CDs
. eject
. chown suse9inst:users -R /SuSE9CD
. ifconfig <- get the IP address of the server
Go back to HMC and you need the IP address of the FTP server, the
userid and the password.
the directory path is "../SuSE9CD
You will then need to "ssh" into Mainframe(your mainframe IP address)
then "yast"

Hello,
I have begun installing s390 Suse Linux into a Mainframe LPAR.
I am installing the boot code from CD #1 (from the HMC).
I have successfully set up my network parameters.
I am now at the point of choosing the installation source. Here
is the message
:
Please specify the installation source:
1) NFS
2) SAMBA
3) FTP
4) Abort
I chose option 3 (FTP)
The response is the following:
Please enter IP-Number of the host providing the installation
It is here that I am stuck. I have been unable to find the
FTP IP address for Novell's FTP site for S390. Does anyone
know how I should proceed from here? Are there mirror sites?
If it does exist, is it anonymous?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Ted.
