I fetched mine a bit differently - I started at www.novell.com and selected the Products and Solutions pull-down window. From that I selected the Suse Linux enterprise Server link.
That took me to a page which includes a description and a link to "learn more about Service Pack 3". Toward the bottom of that page the next link was "zSeries (S390x; IBM mainframe, 64-bit); Service Pack 3". Click it and you'll see the SLES-9-SP-3-s390-RC4a-CDx.ISO files. These are, as one of the reasons for my other threads, the 31 bit versions and probably the links are reversed. Back up one page and select the "S390 (IBM mainframe, 31-bit); Service Pack 3)" link and you'll see the SLES-9-SP-3-x390x-RC4a.CDx.iso files. I haven't compared the GM versions to the RC4a versions, but the sizes all match so I suspect that they are copies with slightly different names. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nix, Robert P. Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: comments on mksles9root.sh for SP3 I downloaded sometime last week, and got the GM files. I also found all six files linked from the same page. Are you getting files from SuSE or from Novell? I went to www.novell.com and logged in. I went to the Knowledgebase and searched for SLES 9 SP3. I found and selected "Release Notes for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 for zSeries Service Pack 3". At the bottom (*way* at the bottom, under "links to download packages" I selected "* SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 for IBM zSeries 64bit (s390x) (most recent package)". After passing through one additional page, I come to a download list which looks like the following: SLES-9-SP-3-s390-GM-CD1.iso 519.3 MB (544542720) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390-GM-CD2.iso 589.0 MB (617662464) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390-GM-CD3.iso 633.0 MB (663846912) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390x-GM-CD1.iso 572.8 MB (600645632) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390x-GM-CD2.iso 624.0 MB (654403584) download SLES-9-SP-3-s390x-GM-CD3.iso 631.3 MB (662065152) download I downloaded all six of these files, and tested the s390x set. I just checked, and these six files are still there and available, so I don't know where the RC4a files are coming from. If you're using a different method or website to get your maintenance, I'd be interested in finding out what you're using...

You changed the script from using RC4a to GM. Perhaps different people, downloading different ways, are getting different names?
