Question

Where can I get the LiS package needed for CS Linux?

Cause

CS Linux requires the open source LiS package. Some older CS Linux v6.2, v6.4 README files point to an FTP site and Web page, which is no longer active.

Answer

Use the level of LiS and the LiS patch as specified in the README for your level of CS Linux.

LiS must be installed following the instructions in the appropriate CS Linux and CS Linux on System z Readme files from:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1066&uid=swg27005634

The LiS package level 2.19-0 can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.uk.metaswitch.com/pub/LiS/LiS-2.19.0.tgz

or anonymous FTP to ftp.uk.metaswitch.com using an FTP client:

Server	ftp.uk.metaswitch.com
User ID	anonymous
Password	anything
Directory	/pub/LiS/
Mode	binary
Get file name	LiS-2.19.0.tgz
