Re: Sane Installation Checklist

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mine has great details about bringing the system down, 
saving before, how to copy subsystem descriptions and 
whatnot.  And then afterwards, restoring certain subsystem 
descriptions, commands, printer files, etc.  but when it 
comes to the actual installation it says 'follow the manual'.  
I've been through more upgrades than Carter has liver pills. 
 At one time we had 20+ 400's.

Subject:        Sane Installation Checklist

I'm getting ready to upgrade from V3R7 to V4R3 and figured I'd put this
out on the net before I go banannas.  Don't you just love IBM's Software
Installation manual.  Reminds me of the Marx Brothers movies (of which
I'm a fan, and that's not saying much for them).  Also reminds me of a
cartoon I got several years ago with a guy on the phone looking puzzled.
 The caption reads "If you'd like to press 5, press 1.  If you'd like to press
1, press 5.", etc.

Sooooooo, I was wondering if anyone has a SANE installation checklist
that they've made in the trenches.  Perhaps, you've made a mistake or
three and would be willing to warn the rest of us.  BTW, I do have an
additional program product (SQL) that I need to install, if that helps.

Thanks,

Rufus T. Firefly: Not that I care, but where is your husband?
Mrs. Teasdale: Why, he's dead.
Rufus T. Firefly: I bet he's just using that as an excuse.
Mrs. Teasdale: I was with him to the very end.
Rufus T. Firefly: No wonder he passed away.
Mrs. Teasdale: I held him in my arms and kissed him.
Rufus T. Firefly: Oh, I see, then it was murder. Will you marry me? Did
he leave you any money? Answer the second question first.
