If you install the starter system, you don't need any other form of installation media to create your new Linux guests. Novell isn't going to do away with the normal installation method. For one thing, not all of our customers have z/VM. For those that do, not all of them need the starter system. So, the stereotypical method of installing will likely always be available: - Download the DVD (or multiple CDs) - Find a system somewhere to host the files on the DVD - Get network access from the mainframe to the system hosting the files - Install your first Linux system from the system hosting the files. For those that don't already have an installation server set up, have z/VM available, and want to short-cut the process, there's the starter system. Mark Post
