Please set your mailer/editor linewrap to 68-75 characters. I strongly
recommend 72 as a good default.
While many mail clients will accomodate unwrapped text:
- Some don't. Be considerate.
- Many more fail to wrap and attribute quotes properly.
- Many web-based list archives render unwrapped text as very long
lines, e.g.:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200309/msg00568.html
Thank you.
You might also want to insert a linefeed following your paragraphs. Or
sentences, if that's your style....
For your question: see the Debian Installation manual:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/s390/install
Chapters 5 and 6 will likely be of specific interest.
Note that s390 is not yet commodity hardware, and with some exceptions,
few of us have or know someone with home access to same. Consequently
this list may be of limited specific utility. You might find that some
startup / installation issues are of a general nature to GNU/Linux
installs. I'd suggest combing IBM's website for details, or
SuSE/Novell's (SuSE is IBM's largest GNU/Linux partner AFAIK on
s390/Z-Series systems).
Peace.
