You'll be better off with a tarball that you untar on the CentOS server, rather than copying to the Samba share from a samba client - and avoid any file naming/creating/etc restrictions Samba (or Windows) is imposing.

Re: Install of SLES 11 via FTP...
Your problem is that all the file names are in upper-case (or perhaps that the FTP server is reporting them that way). I ran into a slightly different example of this problem using a Windows FTP client to transfer the files from a physical SLES 10 DVD in my desktop to a Linux FTP server, which I then attempted to install from. The Windows FTP client smashed the case of the filenames to all-lower and the YaST installer failed once it started looking for RPM packages. A different, case-preserving Windows FTP client was engaged, and the installer magically began working again. ok r. > -Original Message- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On > Behalf Of Frank M.

Hi, Frank. I've just installed SLES11 via the ftp method here on a z/VM 5.4 system and I had no trouble. Two things to check: 1) I think you might have one too many "SUSE" in the directory pathuse /pub/outgoing/Suse instead of /pub/outgoing/Suse/SUSE 2) what type of FTP server (Linux on Intel, Windows, Mac, etc.) are you using?

Re: Install of SLES 11 via FTP...
I downloaded the DVD images (ISO). Extracted the files onto a SMB share (Samba on a Linux server) via WinAce. They show as uppercase in the WinAce display of the contents of the ISO. These are the two ISOs I have: 12/14/2009 01:58 PM 2,833,274,880 SLES-11-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso 12/14/2009 01:16 PM 932,233,216 SLES-11-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD2.iso Frank M.
