Is anyone having difficulties downloading the ISO files?
I appear to be getting some sort of authorization error... HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Post Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 3:19 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 Starter System for IBM System z Cross-posted to Linux-390, IBMVM, and IBM-MAIN I'm pleased to announce that the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 Starter System for IBM System z is now available. (Don't you just love the catchy name? I think it just rolls off the tongue.) As before, the good folks at Sine Nomine, working closely with Novell, have created this update. All the comments we received regarding the documentation have been incorporated, in addition to the upgrade to the platform itself. The starter system continues to be a no-cost download for anyone that has a Novell Customer Center account (which is also no-cost). For people that haven't heard of this before: "The SUSE Enterprise Linux Server (SLES) Starter System is a pre-built installation server for SLES that can be installed on your z/VM system using CMS tools, eliminating the need for coordinating access to a separate Linux or Unix system elsewhere on your network and minimizing the impact of network-based installation on your internal and external networks." You can find more information, and links to the download page at http://www.novell.com/partners/ibm/mainframe/starterpack.html Before you download anything, I strongly recommend reading through the installation guide. It's viewable online, via the "view" button for "Install instructions." Or, you can download the PDF (or .txt) file to your desktop by clicking on the download button for s10sp2.pdf, or s10sp2.txt. Hopefully, everything you'll need to know is contained in that document. As with the prior version, having z/VM running is a pre-requisite for this tool. If you don't already have z/VM, and you do have a z10, you might want to consider the z/VM 5.3 Evaluation Edition that IBM has just made available. See http://www.vm.ibm.com/eval/index.html for more details. If you don't have a z10, you'll need to contact your IBM rep. to coordinate a no-cost evaluation. Thank you to all the people that downloaded the SP1 version and tried it out. The number of downloads, and the feedback from the people trying it, made it clear that keeping this tool and upgrading it was good for everyone involved. Mark Post
