Brock,

Thanks, but I wasn't thinking only of zSeries.  I support a lot of Intel
and AMD boxes as well.  For me, not entering anything, then clicking OK
or Cancel didn't work.  I had to put in _something_.

If the "installation key will be used to determine which packages to
install" as Brad stated, and it's _likely_ to be along the lines of the
current activation codes, this seems to imply some sort of external
setup (perhaps in RHN) prior to installation.  And a working Internet
connection.  Hopefully that's not the case, since that would be a
horrible mistake.  Most of the systems I install never have access to
the Internet, and the ones that do, only get it long after the install
has been performed.

Hi Mark,

Any key value (including not entering one) should work for this beta;
there are no specific key-activated variants for the zSeries in this
beta.

Regards,

Brock
