Paul,
Having installed a fair number of copies of Linux at customer sites, I
can assure you the FTP server CAN be on a window server, BUT each time I
have installed from a window server I have had a problem with case that
I do not have when installing from a *nix server.
So I consistently tell my customers a window server is the last option I
would ask for, especially when another group is controlling the server
and requires multiple layers of help to affect changes.
regards
Phil Tully

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.

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
