Hi Uwe

Is it possible that you could make a patch for SLES8 as well because we are 
stock with SLES8 for some time. Why is that? Thats because the software 
vendors isn't supporting sles9 at the moment. We are here talking about 
products running on oracle 9.2 and zDomino ( version 7 has just been 
released, so we will wait for some time before using it). I believe that a 
lot of mainframe customers has the same problem. But perhaps most mainframers 
isn't using autoyast but standard cloning tecniques.

 I could test the patch for you.

Regards

Steen
