I thought that was for people who don't have a z/OS system at all and needed one in order to install z/OS. To be really honest, I wish that z/OS could be installed from a DVD the way that z/VM can be. You can actually IPL from the DVD to setup the volumes (ICKDSF). Then IPL DDR to reload the z/VM volumes. z/VM can then be IPL'ed because it is smart enough to "find" its I/O devices. Yes, I really like z/VM. Have liked it since I learned VM/370 (pre-SP1) back in the early 1980s(?). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
