Well, there's always FIPS on an x86 Linux Distro to help make room for a _real_ OS on your PC. :-) Sorry for the cruelty, but your choice is to either burn the images so that W2K can read them or to install a more flexible OS. While you'll lose the "pretty" HercGUI tool (which I must admit is very pretty) there are other reasons to run Linux under such a system. Though I would suspect it'd be confusing to run Linux 390 on top of hercules on top of another Linux system; Just make sure that you've properly set up /etc/issue (and issue.net) to remind you of which is which... :-) -------------------- John R.
