I don't care how much CPU it uses. I can start it up and go do something else.
I will look into getting the starter system. I don't make these decisions, so I don't know if we will be able to get it. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Boyes Sent: Friday, November 16, 2007 10:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Linux install from z/OS. > Has anyone tried to use z/OS to serve the install CDs for Linux? Yes. Don't do it. You won't like the CPU utilization on z/OS at all. The SMB support chews up a lot of CPU doing the SMB translation. > The problem I have is that we don't have an Intel Linux system that I can > put the install CDs on.

If you're doing a install for VM and you're using SLES, then get the starter system image for SLES 10 from Novell and use that as your install source. If you're doing LPAR, well... hmm. See above re SMB. It'll work, but it's kind of anti-social. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email from the State of California is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
