I am getting ready to attempt to install SLES9 under z/VM as well. The procedure mentioned in http://mikemacisaac.com/configureNFS.pdf describes a script called mksles9root. Does anyone have this in electronic format that I can download?
Also, the statement "I did have to change one little thing: blanked out the "\t" from the files yast/instorder; yast/order.". What does this mean or will it become more obvious once I get started.?Thank you for any infomation anyone can provide.

I did have to change one little thing: blanked out the "\t" from the files yast/instorder; yast/order. So with the prepared linux (desktop) install server, I was able to successfully install a base SLES9 on z/VM . For SP1 upgrade, I used the following procedure: In the Install server: 1) download SP1 iso images for CD1, CD2 2) mount loop iso images to tmp dir 3) created diretory: /sles9-s3900-sp1/CD1, /sles9-s3900-sp1/CD2 4) copied iso files from tmp to above directories 5) using yast, NFS export /sles9-s3900-sp1 In target Image: 1) register new install source: -yast software / Change source of Installation add: install_server / sles9-s3900-sp1/CD1 (CD1 only, CD2 not reqd) move to top of list 2) do the upgrade: - yast software / system update (take all defaults) 3) re-boot ================== So the upgrade appears to have worked. Question: How can I tell that my system is sles9 SP1 ? ======== Uname -a : Linux lnxtest4 2.6.5-7.139-s390 #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 15:41:33 UTC 2005 s390 s390 s390 GNU/Linux Ismael -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael MacIsaac Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2005 8:01 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: SuSE Installation Server Ismael, > How do I integrate the recently released SLES9 SP1 yast -> software -> Patch CD update It's documented (for SLES8 and SP3 at least) in the zDomino redbook: SG24-7021.
