Hello all, I am trying to set up an FTP server, SLES9 64-bit, to do the rest of my installs from. The server is running, I have file systems with s390 and s390x code, but when I attempt to do an install, it can't read the software package list, media error?I figure I have something setup wrong. I haven't been able to locate a document that describes how the filesystem should be set up. Can somebody give me the name of the document? link?
I know this sounds like the light-bulb joke, but why FTP rather than HTTP or NFS? I use http because I value the logs, but in a production environment such as yours I lean towards NFS. My experience is mostly with RH, so this might not apply so well to SUSE. Using NFS, the installer can mount the install filesystem directly and doesn't need temporary storage (such as RAM). Using NFS the installer can loop-mount ISO images and so you don't need to unpack them into the install tree. Under VM, of course, you may also have the choice of "attach 110" so as to install from DASD on 110 where the benefits of NFS apply. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ do not reply off-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
