I don't deny that there are rough edges in the installer. Help's appreciated and it might be easier in some cases to pull a disk image. Also note that the 31bit flavour s390 is going away with the next release, while the s390x flavour will stay (wheezy is the current version).

Anyone have any good Debian media for a z9
We are trying to install Debian for z on a z9 and are running into issues with the installation. Our media is coming from the Debian site. Does anyone have any media they have uses successfully or any tips. Red Hat will only give us a 180 eval copy for educational purposes and we want to use something else that we can use unfettered.

Re: Anyone have any good Debian media for a z9
I'm sure this will induce Philipp Kern to rise to the task. However a quick search on this list will also get you Fedora - that might suffice for educational purposes. Especially if you are RHEL inclined. CentOS used to do a s390x build, but I haven't seen that in years. Shane ...

Re: Anyone have any good Debian media for a z9
Hello, Cameron. I've got a complete ready to go Debian s390x disk image that you can have. You just copy it to a DASD volume and bring it up. Let me know if you are interested.
