Season Greetings Rick,
Congratulations, very cool.
I had never thought to "rexx-ify" wget or curl...
Food for thought.
Regards,
Paul Flint

Subject: minor update to NORDAUTO, one-shot bootstrap Linux from CMS
This was also posted on IBMVM. Apologies to those who get duplicates.
NORDAUTO EXEC serves as a one-shot command to bring up Linux from CMS.
The idea is to put all of the boot parameters, plus the URL of a kernel
and INITRD, into a single file. The EXEC then fetches the kernel and
INITRD placing them directly into spool space, then IPL. NORDAUTO was
originally written as a way to install NORD Linux, but /works with any
Linux/. (Theoretically, it will work for any guest operating system, as
long as you can IPL a card deck.)
I have put NORDAUTO on GitHub. It is a subdirectory of the NORD project.
Please check that out. Critique welcome.
https://github.com/trothr/nord/tree/master/nordauto/
NORDAUTO is also available as VMARC or TAR.
http://www.casita.net/pub/nord/nordauto/nordauto.vmarc
http://www.casita.net/pub/nord/nordauto/nordauto.tar
http://www.casita.net/pub/nord/nordauto/nordauto.tar.gz
And ... it's hungry, looking for more parm+kernel config files.
If you have particular release or distro that you like and have tweaked
the boot parameters just right, please share. Thanks!
