Hi Sergio, Desperately wish I could own on.

Does it run under Hercules?

Last I tried, yes, but that was back in 2001/2002. I've used it on both Hercules and real iron.

I still have this: +-----------------------------------------------+ | zdolinux : a pre-packaged SLES 11 SP2 (s390x) | |-----------------------------------------------| | Requirements : - Any Linux Distribution | | - Hercules | | | | UserID's : root (password: special) | | test (password: test) | | | | IP : 192.168.4.2 | | | +-----------------------------------------------+ running on Hercules, which I use to check my CPAN distributions against. I'd love to see a walk-through on how to get those new .iso's working on Hercules!
