I don't think you can from the HMC. I got z/OS 1.10 via an Internet download from ShopzSeries. Of course, it required a compatable z/OS running on a z in order to do the install. I don't think there is a "from scratch" way to install a z/OS system on a z which is not already running z/OS. There is an order option for getting a "driver system" from IBM, but I don't know anything else on that subject. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
