Richard,
Thank you for your ideas. We validated everything you suggested this
morning
and we still end up in line mode. We even had our UNIX person try to
come in
from one of his setups. He too ended up in line mode. We are left to
believe
something on the zVM side is not setup to accept the GUI for the redhat
install?
Thanks again for your help.

What has to happen is, and forgive me if you know all of this, Mary,
when you are working from the Ubuntu, be sure it is in "X mode" (some
of us do run desktop Linuxen in "text mode") and have a shell
presented in an 'xterm' window. (Other terminal windows should give
the same effect: We need your X desktop available to other
applications.) If there are any doubts, try an 'xterm' command
manually and use the new window which pops up.
When you do the 'ssh -X /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/' command, SSH client
and server negotiate a tunnel so that X clients on the remote end get
secured access to the desktop at your end. Here too, try a manual
'xterm' command before you run any other graphical apps on the target
system.
If you are successful at getting that final XTERM window from the
remote system, then all other X apps should have the same level of
access to your desktop. Launch the RH installer. (I am unfamiliar
with it, but YaST2 is how we do it in SuSE land, following these same
steps.)

We do use the -X command and the Xwindow still does not come up.
We'll probably begin the textmode install tomorrow like you suggested.
Thanks,

Hello all,
Our first install of Redhat on our z/VM 5.3 system.
We are having
trouble using Xwindows from a UBUNTU system into the
Redhat install shell for a GUI interface install
window. We can Xwindow
from our UBUNTU system to other systems, just the z/VM5.3
side of it won't allow it. Any ideas?
Thanks,

While I don't use RedHat (yet), I do use SLES 9 & 10. I
specify using SSH in the install parms for the install and
connect to the Linux system with 'ssh -X linux.add.re.ss'
and this allows the X forwarding to show the installation
window. You can contact me directly if you have any questions.
Yeah, the -X should turn on X forwarding.
That said...why not just do the RH textmode install? I find
it much faster and less annoying (but my z is very slow and I
have a lousy network between me and it).
