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
