Hi everyone! The Fedora s390x team[1] is happy to announce the first installable Fedora on IBM System Z (aka s390x) since Fedora 6! It's been a long time in the making, but after several Fedora releases since we started getting everything up into shape again we've finally reached a point where we can provide an installable version of Fedora on IBM System Z again. As it's not a final release yet and we still need to have a few minor workarounds in the installer image the location isn't yet in the typical release directory for secondary archs. We expect this to be a thing of the past once we get that last few fixes upstream and the composes running in a consistent and permanent fashion (real soon now!!!). The documentation has of course also been updated and a whole section has been added in the README on how to install your own release (not just running a hercules image as with our Fedora 11 preview version). Hercules images and instructions on how to run that or how to install it yourself can be downloaded from http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/spins/S390/ Individual packages are available at http://s390.koji.fedoraproject.org/mash/rawhide/s390x/os/ More info will be added in the next few days at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x If you're interested, please join our mailing list at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-s390x or our IRC channel #fedora-s390x on freenode.net Thanks & regards, Phil [1] List of current team: * Karsten Hopp Secondary Arch Maintainer (nickname Kick_ in #fedora-s390x on IRC) * Dan Horák * Dennis Gilmore * Brad Hinson * Justin Payne (nickname kurgan in #fedora-s390x on IRC) * Phil Knirsch * David Cantrell (interest in anaconda support for s390) -- Philipp Knirsch | Tel.: +49-711-96437-470 Supervisor Core Services | Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH | Email: Phil Knirsch <pknirsch(a)redhat.com&gt; Hauptstaetterstr. 58 | Web: http://www.redhat.com/ D-70178 Stuttgart, Germany Motd: You're only jealous cos the little penguins are talking to me.
