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
