Mark,
I think your guess is correct. I'm curious as to why you want to make your
root file system an LVM volume, though. Do you really think you'll need to
expand it that much, instead of just adding additional file systems on
various mount points?
to be honest, I just wanted to try out the

On the mainframe, you have change and reference bits for each page.
This permits sophisticated real storage management algorithms not possible

Thanks for the response. You didn't answer my question however.
The question was, if a vendor app says it is certified to run on SuSe
linux, can it run on SuSe linux on any of the supported SuSe
Linux platforms? For example, for INFORMIX, there is now a version
that is LINUX ready. But
Java aside, applications written to run on Linux are source code compatible, not
binary compatible. In the case of most commercial programs, where source code is
generally not available to customers, you depend on the source code owner to compile
and test their code for each new Linux platform.
Or is this another black-eye for the mainframe(like Unix
System Services was from a pure UNIX perspective) where
it's not quite ready for prime-time, and is just different enough that
there
are not enough apps available yet.
I think Linux is progressing much faster than USS did in its infancy.
I wouldn't take that for granted. If it doesn't specifically mention Linux
for S/390, ask the vendor (or see if Jim responds).

In the particular instance you're referencing, Informix, unless IBM shows a
version that runs on Linux/390, then they have only ported it to Intel
Linux. They don't have a version for Linux/390 (that they'll ship to you),
yet. They most likely will, just not yet.

Why is the latest drop on developerworks (2002-11-25) referred to as the

As it's done in multiple places I'm wondering if it's more than just a typo.
When one downloads an .ISO file from SuSE's FTP site in preparation for
building a Linux on S/390 image, is the next step inevitably to burn a
CD-ROM from the ISO image? I know at some point I'll ship three files to
VM so I can punch them to the RDR, but I'm drawing a blank on how to
extract them
Nick,
You can burn them to a CD. If you are running Linux/Intel, then you could
also do a loopback mount of them to access their contents directly.

This will mount the ISO image so that its contents are found in /cdrom. You
can then FTP from there or whatever you want.

If the ISO files are on a Linux pc they can be mounted in loop-back mode
and then you can cd to the mount point to find the files to upload.
Otherwise you'll need to burn the ISOs to a CD first.

You seem to presume: 1) the costs of a PWD-offered solution are predominately
