We actually had no idea that it was possible to install from a CD on S/390. We should be able to create an installation CD, but someone will have to feed us the information on what's needed to make the CD bootable and what drivers are required. If the hercules S/390 emulator also supports booting/installing off CD (or a CD image), information on how to do that would be very welcome too. So, if you're interested on helping us realize this, you're very welcome. Cheers, FJP
