Last December Sine Nomine Associates put out a set of CD's that were
designed to make it easy to install Debian Linux quickly on a VM system.
I would like to talk with someone else that has used these instillation
CD's. I wish to compare experiences with them.

is there a documented difference between cpio in sles7/390 and sles8/390?
When extracting the oracle 9iR2 archive, the cpio that ships with sles8
errors with a "premature end of file". I copied the cpio binary from sles7
and it worked fine.

I don't think anybody has mentioned it, so...
Could you just set up Apache to follow symlinks, and allow directory
listings and then create symlinks to the directories that the developers
need access to? Then a simple refresh in the browser gets the updated

They later kernels from SuSE have the patch in it. My patch has been adapted
by the kernel folks so that it's different to the quiesce-diffs you've
located. SLES8 definitely has it. You'll need to update /etc/inittab to
enable the signal to do the ctrl-alt-del processing.

We've just upgraded to z/VM 4.3 and would like to begin using the CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN
command to shut down our Linux servers. We are running SuSE SLES7 with the timer
patch,and I think I have the latest update.
When I try the SIGNAL command I get

Jeremy,
One thought I had would be to make all the volatile portions of the
environment based on VDISKs and have the machine IPL CMS and populate
the VDISKs with a default environment using DDR or similar tool, then
IPL Linux. You bring the the machine up, they play with their app, and
you log it

Depends on the politics of your situation. Usually the reason for
separate servers has little to do with technical merit and everything to
do with administrative fiefs. Trying to consolidate many to one usually
fails due to political control problems, which is why most of the

Is there a generally accepted "best way" to upgrade/install packages
with RPM with a shared RO /usr across multiple images? Management is
leaning toward all guests having the same software installed, where
service A would be running on one image, and service B on another,
