HI James
I have just completed a SLES9-SP3 install into an LPAR , using Mike
Macissac's script and Redbook "LPAR to Virtual server" , so if they want
to chat lets do so.

Subject: Another county government in Minnesota wants to pilot Linux
They want to start, like we started, with Linux in an LPAR and have
contacted us for advice.
Seeing how much better life is under z/VM I've been trying to sell z/VM
but they're 'not that far' and are trying to do a proof of concept.
Last time I did Linux in an LPAR it was SLES-7.
Now with SLES 9 being the current derivation, I'm not sure where to
point them for SLES-9 in LPAR mode documentation. Anyone have anything
that might serve as a starting point for these folks?

This lets anyone on the planet connect to your X server and register to
receive X events, including keystrokes and mouse movements.
I'd strongly suggest being a little more restrictive in what hosts you
allow to connect ('xhost +' turns off host authentication entirely).

Re: Cannot read package from the installation media. Media error?
My guess would be you're using a Windows FTP server on your laptop, and this doesn't work. You either need to use an FTP server or NFS on Linux.

Thanks John and everyone else that responded. The problem turned out to be that the iso images were created incorrectly. All of the filenames were truncated to 31 characters.

Re: Another Corrected sles9 sp3 CD
Someone replied to me off-list that a PMR was opened and a reply from SuSE was: The "error" was: the media label which is written into the header part of the ISO image was wrong, causing CDs burned from it to be misidentified and YaST not accepting such CD as a SUSE patch CD. Perhaps the new CD2 fixes the Patch CD Update problem. I'll look into this. Thanks.

Mono ASP.NET on Apache on Linux on z
I'm one of those "proof of concept" sites - actually you all have proven the concept, but this is what management calls it - we want to see if we can move an ASP.NET application from IIS to the Mono version on Apache on a Linux server on z/Series. I'm trying to RATFD (Read All The "friendly" Documentation) around - and what concerns me is that the Apache which ships with SuSE doesn't seem to be as up-to-date as the one at Apache.org; so I'm not sure aboud dependencies on that which Mono may have... is there a tool which keeps track of these dependencies (ala SMP/E?) and will help get what we need?

Re: Mono ASP.NET on Apache on Linux on z
Most enterprise Linux distributions don't have the very latest point (and sometimes even major) releases of software in their repositories (it's considered a feature by most). According to the ASP.NET FAQ on the Mono website ( http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_ASP.NET), all you need is Apache (1.x or 2.x), Mono, and mod_mono, the latter two being available on the Mono downloads page. They appear to have prebuilt RPMs for both 31 and 64-bit architectures. If all else fails, just build from source. In terms of keeping your software up to date, just use yast. That will let you have the latest stable software in the SuSE repositories. If you want bleeding-edge packages, you'll have to download them manually or build them yourself. ks On 2/22/06, Tim Hare <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm one of those "proof of concept" sites - actually you all have proven > the concept, but this is what management calls it - we want to see if we > can move an ASP.NET application from IIS to the Mono version on Apache on > a Linux server on z/Series. > > I'm trying to RATFD (Read All The "friendly" Documentation) around - and > what concerns me is that the Apache which ships with SuSE doesn't seem to > be as up-to-date as the one at Apache.org; so I'm not sure aboud > dependencies on that which Mono may have... is there a tool which keeps > track of these dependencies (ala SMP/E?) and will help get what we need? > > Thanks > Tim Hare > Senior Systems Programmer > Florida Department of Transportation > (850) 414-4209 > > -- > For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
