According to Sue Baloga, it looks like this order consisted of DFSMS
only, which could be a valid VM/SDO order. You can order the z/VM base
system and/or optional licensed products. When anything is ordered
through the VM/SDO,base or LP, the optional product enabling aid is also
shipped.

Even though I don't do Linux work...I agree with Robert here.
Now, it would be a nice feature on the Linux installs, I would imagine,
if RH and Novell and others made it easy to set this up as the install
was running. At least as far as setting up one admin account/password
etc.

Yes. Both major vendors and Debian ship it loaded, but with SELinux
functions turned off or warn-only due to the massive impact of how it
changes the behavior of the system.

Never touch the stuff.
While I take your point about staying out of root insofar as possible,
there are other ways to compartmentalize our systems: virtualization,

another option to recover a root password on recent Linux on Z distros is to

I had to go to the Linux-390 index to read them.

Well, I guess that I'm out of luck. It says that there are no valid
partition tables on any of my devices, I have no idea how that could
have possibly happened, but I seem to have no choices left except to
reinstall.
