[1] should provide at least some information, but it's very concise. Bugs and hints on how to improve that guide are appreciated as bug reports against "installation-guide"[2]. Bugs in the installer can be reported against "installation-reports"[3], but it's best to Cc [email protected] so that we can respond more quickly. Images can be found on [4] for VM, on [5] for HMC use (note that in the latter case only an installer kernel is loaded from the CD, the packages are still pulled over the network). I don't deny that there are rough edges in the installer. Help's appreciated and it might be easier in some cases to pull a disk image. Also note that the 31bit flavour s390 is going away with the next release, while the s390x flavour will stay ("wheezy" is the current version).
