Here's a docker container that installed KICKS on to MVS/CE: https://hub.docker.com/r/mainframed767/kicks you can also use this github repo to build it yourself: https://github.com/MVS-sysgen/docker-kicks

Just run it the same way you would MVS/CE.

Your solution is not the intended inclusion into this sysgen. But thank you anyway.

Personally I dislike containers very much for various reasons. Just saying.

KICKS is fairly big and sysgen tries to be as minimal as possible. At some point I'd like to get KICKS as part of MVP but its too large at the moment to install as one package.

I totally understand not liking containers, thats why i included the link to the docker build so you can do it yourself on your own system by just following along with what the Dockerbuild file does.

Thanks for the explanation.
