I installed x86 Linux on an Intel PC (with 20 Gb hard drive and 512 meg of memory) which we have plenty of machines to pick from. I configured vsftp for anonymous ftp. Using that machine as my source, I was successfully able to install SuSE 9.0 on my mainframe. On the pc I could mount the ISO images, run md5sum, etc. and connect to my mainframe using ssh without a problem. That solved my disk space issue because I too had to work with a limited amount of 3390-3 available to me.

Has anyone, installed Suse 9.0, from the evaluation CDs, via Windows SMB? My responses noted. 1. What hardware platform? ( VM) 2. What IP method (IUCV) 3. What PC operating system used (Windows 2000) 4. How did you do the MD5SUM function under Windows? (didn't) Over the last 2 months, I've tried installing Suse 9.0, under VM, with SMB using an IUCV connection and kept hitting a wall. Logs sent to Suse showed that they did something wrong. (Like they didn't bother to test the installation using real CDs.) We are about ready to throw in the towel on Suse 9.0 as not being ready for prime time and stay on Suse 8.0 (despite some venders telling us that they perfer Suse 9.0).
