Re: Linux on an IPCS

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mark.  I saw that but yes, it was for an older version of the 
IPCS and it looks like most Linux stuff I see - a little bit beyond my 
geek skills.

It looks pretty involved but the guy was good enough to carefully 
document the process.  I was hoping that I could use a more "standard" 
install, similar to the Win2K install on the IPCS or something 
approximating the instructions I saw for IXS installation.

I just found an e-mail address of a IPCS/IXS guy from IBM I met at 
Common.  I'll post something to him next.

Thanks.

Pete
