Re: V6R1

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lukas - you do NOT have to have your own machine - you did not 
apparently see the options Michael put in there - we are using one of 
IBM's machines to do this - yes, we are in the States, but it sounds 
like that is not a problem - the ISV Innovation Centers are there for 
all partners, apparently.

IBM folks did all the installs of V6R1 - even the latest driver for 
early ship.

So try option 2 or 3 that Michael listed, please.

Vern
