Hi all,

So where can I find the Fedora installer img files... eg.
[   ] hdstg2.img                       17-Mar-2005 05:18   15M
[   ] netstg2.img                      17-Mar-2005 05:18   15M
[   ] stage2.img

That would normally live in 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/390/Fedora/base/

yes, i know s390(x) aren't official fedora platforms, but I'm happy to 
have a fiddle and report bugs :-)

After hunting I found them on one of the rawhide mirrors, namely

http://www.opensourcemirrors.org/linux/fedora/core/development/s390/Fedora/base/

but they seem to have problems...

ie.

* transferring www.opensourcemirrors.org/l
inux/fedora/core/development/s390/Fedora/base/stage2.img to a fd
* copied 59473920 bytes to /tmp/ramfs/stage2.img (complete)
* mntloop loop0 on /mnt/runtime as /tmp/ramfs/stage2.img fd is 20
* got url ftp://www.opensourcemirrors.org/linux/fedora/core/development/s390
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev loop0.

and anaconda promptly falls over with...

Welcome to the Red Hat Linux install environment 1.1 for S/390

Welcome to the Red Hat Linux install environment 1.1 for S/390

Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait...
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 358, in ?
     from exception import handleException
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 24, in ?
     import rpm
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpm/__init__.py", line 7, in ?
     from _rpm import *
ImportError: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory

So, my questions are :

Where are the real installer .img files for s/390 and where are the 
mirrors getting their copies from because I can't find the 'original' 
file on download.fedora.redhat.com
