Hi, David:

You just put the CD or DVD in the drive, with the CD/DVD drive attached to that LPAR, and you tell the system to "boot" that LPAR from the CD, and away you go. ;-) (Of course, the details of exactly how you do this can vary, depending on what model AS/400 or iSeries or System i you have, and whether you have an HMC, etc.)

Cheers,

Mark

My understanding is that, once iSeries (and pSeries) support was integrated into the Linux kernel, essentially any "distro" of Linux that can run on PowerPC should be capable of running in an (iSeries or pSeries) LPAR.

Yeah, I kind of knew that ... but I thought you needed something from the commercial distro providers to start the install. My gut says you can't just stick the Fedora 8 PPC DVD in a LPAR's drive and boot it up.

'course, I could be wrong ... I've never actually tried it (don't have a LPAR system to play with).
