Perhaps I should have asked what the OP's background is. If he is a Intel type person, he may be (no offense meant!) a "put in a CD and boot to install" type person. That's how I installed Windows. And Linux. And NetBSD. Much easier than doing a z/OS install. I vaguely remember the shear hell that it was to create an OS/VS1 system "from scratch" with only a DOS/VSE machine around. Had to get time from IBM at their data center, do a gen, then backup and do a stand-alone restore of the basic system. z/VM, now that is nifty since you can IPL and install it from a DVD on the HMC, or from tapes.
So, first question: What is the OP's background? z/VM? z/VSE? Linux? UNIX? Windows? Any "system admin" type background? z/OS applications programmer? Other applications programmer?
