Re: HELP on z/vm 5.3 install!
For an FTP server (and I assume you are talking about a Windows PC - I know, big assumption), you can't go wrong with FileZilla.

Anyway, I just logged off. Will check the ftp server software for transmission speed or whatever... it was freeware I downloaded... may hav to try a different one. No big deal I guess. I can always start over.. :)

Is there any reason you can't do that? I think you were right to suggest something is wrong. No way it should take that long. Oversimplifying, at 10 disks every 3 hours it would take 84 hours to download 280 disks. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott

Hmmm... I can't help, though I suspect a simple HX would do the trick. However, you might want to do some investigation, since I also did an FTP install last week, and it took less than an hour. Or, just leave it running overnight. Is there any reason you can't do that? Ray Mansell Anne Crabtree wrote: I am installing z/vm 5.3 from an ftp server...

Is there a graceful way to interrupt the install so that I'm not here all night? I see instructions about restarting instdvd with restart option which I'm perfectly willing to do... in the morning..
