Folks,
I'm installing SLES9 under z/VM 4.4. When transfering the Installation
System via FTP, I don't get what I would expect or what the SuSE doc
seems to indicate I should get for byte counts.

It looks as though you're trying to install RPMs from SLES9 on a SLES8

result in just about the same thing, but with a whole lot more time spent

Got a question.
We're currently running SLES8 SP3 with glibc 2.2.5.
I was APPLY CHECKing, er, running rpm -Uh --test on mysql-4.0.18 and
mysql-client. Several dependencies were indicated, including
libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3) needed for mysql-4.0.18. I then did a rpm -Uh --test on
glibc-2.3.3-98.
Peter,
Are you sure you want to do /var? I would think /var/tmp. Other places like
/var/log would, perhaps, be application
specific?
Might want to consult the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
(http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/) for /tmp and /var.

This sounds neat, especially with EMC buying VMware. Love to have a space

Folks,
Sanity check.
I've defined two LVM physical volume groups. I plan to share these two
volume groups between three lpars running Linux (SLES 8). The physical
volume groups will provide two pools of space from which logical volumes can
be allocated and mounted to the various Linux images. (
Curious if anyone has tried shifting from using bash to zsh.
If someone did switch or tried it and gave up, I would be curious to know
what you encountered.

Ralph,
You should check in to Innovation's Upstream product. Upstream is great,
works nicely and easily with existing mainframe infrastructure, and I
believe it has a Linux agent.
