I'm trying this right now, but it is failing. I can get to the "generic.ins" file on my ftp server (Linux desktop), but when I try to continue the IPL, I get a "load failure" type message. I don't remember it exactly. And I had to give the LPAR back for z/OS testing. I may try again later. Or may just play games during the "down season" here. I'm turning into a "Sweet Climber" junkie, from the "Wreck it, Ralph" game. Amusing to both 6 year and 6 decade old people. <grin/> Too bad I can't get away with playing it with the music on. At work, I get in trouble. At home, the dog goes ballistic.
