It didn't take very long, but my workstation is about two hops away from the mainframe osa.

Do you remember how long the SEND down to you z/VM system took? It warns in the manual that it could take a while!

I unzipped them in to a directory structure on my workstation. Then I used my terminal emulator (PCOM) to upload them to a minidisk on my 1st level system's VM 5.4 installation userid (MAINT54 in my case). Instructions/requirements for that userid are on pp 61-62 of. the Guide for Automated Installation and Service. Then follow the instructions in Appendix J. Use the .srl file and the upload is automated for you. ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System on behalf of Martin, Terry R.

Anyway I am getting ready to install z/VM 5.4 and I ordered the product via Shop Z Series. I was able to download everything including the RSU to my desk top all in the same folder. Since I do not have the means at this time to do the install via DVD I was going to use a Terminal Emulator to Upload Files and install via a z/VM mini disk. I am using the Automated Install and Service Guide as my reference for the install. I know this is going to be slow but it looks like it will work. My question is that it is a little confusing when it keeps talking about the DVD install I am assuming that since the download to my desk top into a folder called CPDVD that by SENDING it via the Terminal Emulator to my z/VM system to a mini disk that it is the same thing as if it were on a real DVD is this a correct assumption? Please add any other information that you think I should be aware of. This is my first real install of the operating system so I want to do it right. Thanks for the help!!
