Robert, > 3) Selected SAMBA as install source.
Does the LPAR have have access to a Linux Intel server (or even Solaris, AIX, ...)? If so, I describe how to set up a SLES9 install tree served via NFS in chapter 5 of the redbook "z/VM and Linux on zSeries: From LPAR to Virtual Servers in Two Days", on the Web at: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246695.html The files associated with this book are on the Web at: ftp://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG246695/ I think most would agree, SMB is been more problematic than NFS or FTP as the protocol for serving the install files.
