Remember, an SMT server can be hosted on an Intel/AMD system that does have access to the Internet, and download the updates for System z. And, as I mentioned before, the suse-sam and suse-sam-data rpms can help with this too. > By the way, there's no way to access an update repository because this > z/Linux has been designed not to have access to internet This situation is why the "sneaker net" capability of SMT was provided. The system to be updated does not need direct access to the internet.
