Hi All,
I'm installing SuSE SLES8. Doc says default installation for 64-bit is 1.6 GB. I
have a 3000 cyl minidisk which doesn't seem to be enough. Anyone else know what
minidisk size works?

It's the same here. MVS (OS/390 or z/OS) and VM users EXPECT minimal
problems/outages and loudly complain about either. M$ and unix system
users (even Linux/390 users) assume there will be problems/outages and
don't complain.

I don't think it matters if Microsoft commitment to security is PR or not. The users

On the other hand, when cars were a new technology they were not reliable or safe.

Tzafrir,
Depending on which emulator you're using, that problem can be overcome.
I've modified my keyboard mappings on AttachMate, and IBM's Personal
Communications emulators to generate carats, etc.

Yep, you will need to divide up /usr..
the install guide shows: /usr 3000, /usr/bin 200, /usr/lib 950, /usr/share
1500, /usr/X11R6 170 and /var 130
but above that layout in the RELEASE-NOTES is a section that states you
will need to divide up the /usr area.
good luck,

Adam,
The Boeblingen developers have stated in the past that they don\'t have any
code in Linux that limits the size of the volumes they support. My reaction
is that Linux/390 should support the 32K cylinder volumes.

I think so, Phil.
I think that the prerequisite is a user community for the OS that demands
that security holes be fixed, and a developer who is committed to fixing the
holes. IBM isn't perfect, but they have been taking security seriously for
