You can clean this up a little bit. Also, by adding "OSAHWAddr=" to it, you won't get prompted for it by the installer. term=dumb vmpoff=logoff hostname= mf-syssoft1 hostip=10.17.1.xxx usessh=1 sshpassword=pppppppp OSAHWaddr= gateway=10.17.1.129 nameserver=999.24.8.126 netmask=255.255.255.192 instnetdev=osa osainterface=qdio layer2=1 portno=0 readchannel=0.0.1f00 writechannel=0.0.1f01 datachannel=0.0.1f02 install=nfs://10.17.1.yyy/media/s390x/sles12sp2/dvd1 linuxrclog=/dev/console manual=0 If you have a DHCP server that is set up to handle your guests, you can simplify it even more: term=dumb vmpoff=logoff usessh=1 sshpassword=pppppppp dhcp portno=0 instnetdev=osa osainterface=qdio layer2=1 OSAHWaddr= readchannel=0.0.1f00 writechannel=0.0.1f01 datachannel=0.0.1f02 install=nfs://10.17.1.yyy/media/s390x/sles12sp2/dvd1 linuxrclog=/dev/console manual=0 Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
