Re: AS/400e installation when hard disks are wiped

Thanks for those who have provided helpful links.

Serial keys/licenses are not a big issue to me. The trial period of 70 days
is acceptable. So, will it be possible to install, for example, the v5r3 os
if i'll acquire installation media (turns out it's not an easy task) on
wiped disks? Will it be enough to change the IPL type and mode in order to
boot software from the CD and start installation? Anyone can provide a good
manual? Thank you.


Regars,
Marius
