Florian., I have tried to install this 4 times today. I am able to connect with lcs across the Internet then connect to the ftp.redhat.de/pub/s390 site for the RPMS As far as I can see when the RHSETUP process gets to kde-i18n-japanese: it hangs . A message pops up on the VM 3270 console "VM: killing process inetd" Then the telnet session drops and I can't figure out how to restart. This occurs after 2+hours of installing RPMs. Can I run LILO to put the boot record out? regards Phil Tully Florian La Roche wrote: > On Fri, May 04, 2001 at 10:18:30AM -0400, Philip J.
