Tom, Yes, you can just rename the files so mksles9root is happy.
I'm not really sure of the differences. We get our ISO images from a common FTP server within IBM. Here are the details of mine: # ls -l *SP-2* -rw------- 1 root root 612798464 Jul 25 09:15 SLES-9-SP-2-s390x-GM-CD1.iso -rw------- 1 root root 609878016 Jul 25 09:16 SLES-9-SP-2-s390x-GM-CD2.iso -rw------- 1 root root 573409280 Jul 25 09:18 SLES-9-SP-2-s390x-GM-CD3.iso # cat MD5SUM-sles9x-sp2 77cf7413affb85badd9037b4b62c1e65 SLES-9-SP-2-s390x-GM-CD1.iso 86c63b8c99e4f3c09bc2b9b81d8bdf1a SLES-9-SP-2-s390x-GM-CD2.iso 22e4c3cf160910c2913c07e8ccc322eb SLES-9-SP-2-s390x-GM-CD3.iso Maybe you can create an MD5SUM file from the above three lines and run " md5sum -c MD5SUM-sles9x-sp2" to see if they're the same?
