So, I presume we're going to want z/VM 5.3 on our Flex box when it's available. We *do* have a deskside 3480/3490 drive, so we can use that if we must. But it's slow and kind of cranky. I was wondering whether it ought to be possible, instead, to do a DVD install. As I understand it,

No, z/VM 5 works on Flex-ES. The problem is that if you have a commercial license then IBM will not sell you a license to run it. If you have a developers (PWD) license then Fundamental will not renew your Flex-ES license. So when the all the current licenses run out everyone is sed.

It is so obviously a benefit to both companies. A compromise is easy, neither has to give much. Therefore, it is unlikely to be resolved. But,if Fundamental would buy out IBM. :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone think that IBM and FLEX will resolve their issues? I know of a company
