Apologizing for replying to my own email. However, I thought I would
just give yum a try and see how it worked. Networking worked fine. I
don't know if the FTP NAT was needed, but gcc and dependencies were
downloaded and installed.
Very impressive! I have never worked with Fedora and only personally
have experience with openSUSE on my desktop (where Hercules runs).
Thanks to this project, I now have something I have wanted for a long
time: gcc on my desktop that produces mainframe object code.
I have tried in the past to create a gcc cross-compiler running on an
Intel desktop, but never succeeded. I have looked at installing Linux
before on Hercules, and that has been a complex proposition. Debian had
a pre-installed disk image a long time ago, but it was 32-bit.
Installing Linux on Hercules can be done, but I have had other
priorities and did not have the will to deal with it.
This is quite a personal break through for me. I can now start to use C
in my stand-alone projects where before I only had gas assembler. (Yes,
I know there is some enablement needed but that's the fun part.)
Thank you! (and those two words do not at all communicate the level of
joy I am actually experiencing.)

I see four such files on Fedora 11. Each has a mirrorlist entry. The
fedora.repo file has this entry (arch=s390x as opposed to $basearch in
the other three).
How do I control which .repo file is used?
Does yum require the ftp NAT to be enabled? (I currently have that
commented out of the .init script).
