Frans, Finally I get the Linux for S/390 installed and I would like to say what I had todo, comment my mistakes so that it can help others in the same task. First of all, you can't use a repository with CDs because at least in S/390 plataform you don't have the debian-installer tree. This is the reason I received a message "no kernel modules available" in the first repository. The second problem is really related with network. The network configuration for Hercules is made using TUN/TAP in a logical network. The way I configured is a bit different from most advises I found at Internet. I refuse to use iptables, in my concept I don't need. What I do is configure two lines in /etc/sysctl.conf: "net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1", to force the routing and second is "net.ipv4.conf.all.proxy_arp=1" to force the tun0 external interface forward arp requests to go and forth to hercules tap0 interface. To make my external router to understand where is the tap0, I had to include one route through tun0. I did a lot of tests logged as "installer" in a shell at Hercules and could get small files from Internet using wget but only for files < 1k (I don't know why). I did a mirror inside my local network using apt-mirror and the same problem persist. Another problem was with file system, xfs doesn't work, only ext3. My last try was prepare a mirror in the same machine where Hercules is running and finished successfully. Ventura -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
