I don't know if this is your problem or not, but the consultant who helped us install z/VM and SUSE Linux told us that the installation FTP server COULD NOT BE ON A WINDOWS SERVER. It had something to do with Windows handling the long file names incorrectly. He had Linux running on his laptop, which we plugged into our network and used as the installation server.
I don't think that the fact that we are running z/VM and you are running in an LPAR makes any difference. I also can't vouch for the truth of his warning from personal experience. Paul Noble, Network Engineer Cuyahoga County Information Service Center >>> "Martin, Larry D" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 7/5/2007 8:02 AM >>> Looking for help. This is my first attempt at Linux on the mainframe. I have a trial copy of SUSE 10 and am trying to install it into an LPAR on a Z890. I have built an IPL Tape and that works. When trying to build the system I need to access the INSTALL folder at an FTP site. I have that on a Windows 2000 server but all I can get is "image not found". Can someone give me any insight as to what the response to the "Enter the directory on the server" should look like? I have no CDROM available. I also tried NFS from a z/OS 1.7 system with similar results. Thanks, Larry Martin ..............................................................................
