Your subject line says "DEF STORAGE v. AUTOLOG". You can provide the STORAGE option on XAUTOLOG if you want the virtual machine to start with a larger amount of memory. You can also combine the DEFINE STORAGE and IPL commands on a single line in PROFILE EXEC: call diag 8,"DEFINE STORAGE 128M" || '15'x || "IPL LINUX" Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
