My question was - are there instructions for doing an ftp get from a Novell url? Will I need to supply a maintenance id and password? What is the url?
I was looking at http://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/book_sle_deployment/?page=/docu mentation/sles11/book_sle_deployment/data/cha_zseries.html I thought there might be another doc for zseries.

If it requires authentication - there are wget options for that as well.
