Sue, I think you'll need to use "dasd_configure" on sles 11.
I'm not quite that far yet, but that's what I remember and since no one else
has answered yet... :)

Your problem is that all the file names are in upper-case (or perhaps that the
FTP server is reporting them that way).
I ran into a slightly different example of this problem using a Windows FTP
client to transfer the files from a physical SLES 10 DVD in my desktop to a
Linux FTP server, which

Hi, Frank.
I've just installed SLES11 via the ftp method here on a z/VM 5.4 system
and I had no trouble.
Two things to check:

I downloaded the DVD images (ISO). Extracted the files onto a SMB share
(Samba on a Linux server) via WinAce.
They show as uppercase in the WinAce display of the contents of the ISO.
These are the two ISOs I have:

I'm thinking you don't want that extra 'SUSE' -- just /pub/outgoing/Suse
for the directory on the server... ?

Yes - I've realized since this isn't a rename - it's a remount..

Good points .. you're right - that would have been messy.
