Hi ,

The iSeries box on which i want to install Fedora is a iSeries 810 (Power 4). I've already installed a Redhat 7.1 and a Suse Entreprise 8.0 on this machine (just for tests) in a LPAR. How can i launch the Fedora Setup on such box ? I remember that for the Redhat 7.1, i needed to - copy the vmlinux file on the IFS (Integrated File System) of the iSeries - configure the LPAR to boot from a STMF (Stream file) located in the root of the iSeries file system - Vary on (power on) the LPAR on the iSeries - Kernel boots and launch the setup program (from that point, i configured the LAN and choose to install from an NFS server)

So, do you think i just need for the Fedora to : - copy the files located here : http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/ppc/iSeries on my iSeries - launch the LPAR like i did in the past for the Redhat 7.1 ?

Other question :

Is the Fedora PPC an official part of the Fedora project (i had a look on the Fedora main site, but they're talking about Intel/X86-64 only). And if it the case, can we hope that a real Fedora on iSeries/pSeries (i meant, other than the Rawhide version) will be released ?

Thanks .

I'll try and dig out some docs for you - I've not tried on iSeries but have installed rawhide on pSeries.

Could you give a bit more detail on what box you'd be installing?
