Mike, Will you be coming out with a Red Hat version of this same cookbook (RHEL 5.4 & zVM 6.4)?

It is temporarily at the top of the page: http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/mikemac/ The PDF weighs in at 4.5MB and 236 pages. The associated tar file is only 17KB. There was no funding/support for this to become an official IBM Redbook, so we updated it "on the side". It is currently on my z/VM developer page, but we hope to finalize it on linuxvm.org/present (if Mark ever finishes his promised review :)) The changes to this book are: -) The z/VM sections are updated for V6.1 -) The Linux sections are updated for SLES 11. -) The REXX EXEC and XEDIT macro to help modify z/VM system labels have been removed as it is recommended to change the system labels at z/VM install time. For reference, the section on relabeling system volumes is slightly modified to describe performing the steps manually, without the REXX EXEC and XEDIT macro. -) The "Servicing z/VM" chapter has been updated for z/VM 6.1 and now describes IBM ShopzSeries, not IBMLink. -) The Linux system that does the cloning is called the cloner, not the controller. -) A section on the X Window System has been added. -) The penguin on the cover representing the golden image was given a gold jacket :)) Some sections are removed in the release of this book: -) In Miscellaneous Recipes chapter, sections on LDAP, NTP, rsync and CMM were removed in the interests of time. -) Details on creating a travelling /home/ have been removed, however, a section with words of wisdom, based on a linux-390 append by Patrick Spinler, has been added. Thanks to all who helped to make this project possible (see list in Preface). Feedback is welcome on or off-list. Enjoy - you can't beat the price! :)) "Mike MacIsaac" <mike...@us.ibm.com> (845) 433-7061 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
