Jim, Getting the Red Hat GA isn't much. There are some files that are different from the RC2, but you can figure those out and only download them. You don't need an x86 Linux, you have your SuSE system on the same box. Use that instead. The 2.4.9-17 kernel is part of the GA code, so that's taken care of above.
The reason why I'm pursuing this path with you is that if you don't know what you're doing, using a vCTC or IUCV connection to either VM, or your SuSE image can create large headaches before you get it straightened out. If you _do_ know what you're doing, then fine, go for it. If you don't, find someone who does to help you, or you'll regret it. And use a trick that has been recommended before. When working with a TCP/IP person that's not familiar with mainframes and specifically Linux/390, draw all the systems involved, but label them as "routers" and not mainframe images. They'll feel better, and you'll get your network set up.

If I can get the RC2 I already have installed, at least we'll have something to try now.

You can define virtual CTCs or IUCV links between your new guest and either the VM TCP/IP stack, or the SuSE guest. You'll need to be careful about assigning IP addresses and the associated routing. There's been a ton of discussion on the mailing list about that, and both Romney White and Alan Altmark have been very helpful with information on what needs to be done there. I'm afraid I don't understand why you're giving up on the OCO modules at this time. (I don't believe it's _hopeless_ just not guaranteed because no one else has been proclaiming success as of yet.)

I'm running z/VM V4R2 on the MP3000, with two OS/390 guests plus SuSE SLES7 already. Regards, Jim
