Networking on the Windows version isn't terrible, but it's a bit trickier than the Linux version. If you use LCS, and have all the pieces in place, it works well enough. The documentation isn't very good though.

Re: Fedora 11 s390x preview
I run the same OS images on both my laptop (Vista), and a dedicated machine at home that runs Fedora 9. I move the disk image files back and forth as needed. I change one line in the Hercules config file to switch between hosts. Yes, Winpcap is required, and under Vista, you have to run Hercules as administrator, but otherwise, it's pretty straightforward. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Shockley, Gerard C Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 1:38 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Fedora 11 s390x preview Got it working with WinPcap http://www.winpcap.org/ Then immediately switched to Linux. -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Rob van der Heij Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 8:20 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Fedora 11 s390x preview On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 2:12 PM, Hall, Ken (GTS)ken_h...@ml.com wrote: Yes, there definitely is a Windows version of Hercules.

Re: LCS problem Installing SLES 11 in partition ( more)
Yes, that got past the problem.. although there were a couple of issues along the way. For example, this kernel could not seem to gunzip the initrd; it reported bad magic numbers. So I unzipped the initrd 'externally' and then just used that as part of the IPL 'tape'. I'm still battling later stages of the install process, mainly because of the very slow/poor performance in this mode, but I did get past that early roadblock. Thanks Mark!!
