Interestingly, nawk is symlinked to mawk by default on Debian-based systems. $ readlink /usr/bin/nawk /etc/alternatives/nawk $ readlink /etc/alternatives/nawk /usr/bin/mawk Not sure if the RH/SLES *awk packages will provide the symlink automatically, if not it appears to be safe to symlink as others have mentioned. -- 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

No s390 support has been announced (and I don't think it would be likely), but there are plans to port it to IA64 and PPC.

Hercules, anyone...8-) I saw pics of a PSP running Linux on Bochs so theoretically Hercules should run too, although the performance would probably be painfully slow, even for S/360 and S/370 operating systems. -Tim -- 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

I wrote a quick little benchmark yesterday to try to determine the theoretical maximum MIPS. I ran the test under the recently released CentOS 4.1 for S/390. When I ran the test using one processor I was able to hit about 50 MIPS. I then split it into four processes (I have 2 real processors + 2 hyperthreaded) and was able to get 76 MIPS. During actual Linux usage with multiple processors and multitasking I'm usually in the 40 - 60 MIPS range. As I said above, this on a dual 3.0 GHz Xeon system with 2GB RAM now running Fedora Core 4 x86_64. The "benchmark" program is just a little hack but if anyone wants to see it, here's the code: http://timbo87.home.comcast.net/temp/herc/benchmark.c -Tim -- 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

I'm not sure what Adam's arrangement was, but I've run Bochs on CentOS 3.4 for S/390 (RHEL 3 Update 4) under Hercules on Fedora Core 3 x86_64 on a dual processor 3.0 GHz Xeon with 2GB RAM and performance was pitiful even with two processors assigned to Hercules and 1GB RAM assigned.

New IBM Mainframe: The z/9
I saw this article today and thought it might be of interest to the list subscribers. Here's a short excerpt: "IBM is today [July 26] expected to announce its most powerful mainframe ever with the z/9, a machine which can be configured with up to 54 processing engines. ... The z/9 is due to be generally available on 16 September, when IBM is due to confirm its software licensing scheme."

RHEL4 U1 VNC install crashing
Hello, I'd like to apologize in advance for this post being slightly off topic since I'm using Hercules instead of real mainframe hardware, but I was told by a member of the Hercules community that this issue had arisen before on this mailing list and that it had been solved so I thought asking here was worth a shot. I'm able to IPL and get into the SSH session which then launches the VNC server. I can go through the initial configuration screens of anaconda, but once it starts loading the time zone configuration screen (I can see the time zone list on the bottom) before the map is visible, I promptly get disconnected from VNC, SSH, and it initiates a shutdown sequence on the Hercules HMC. Nothing strange shows up in the HMC log before shutdown as far as I can tell: File descriptor 29 left open File descriptor 30 left open File descriptor 31 left open No volume groups found sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done disabling swap... unmounting filesystems... and the shutdown proceeds to finish. Any help is appreciated and again, I apologize if this is off topic.
