I'm not going by the book, I'm going by experience.  ;-)

Do you _always_ do what IBM tells you?  <vbg>

Anyway, I would submit that prior to an upgrade, if you need to apply ptf's
*perm to have enough room to load the software, that you will be completely
out of room as soon as you finish loading the newly bloated OS for whatever
release you are moving to, let alone loading two more cd's full of ptf's.

As for your example, it was a case study for what I said. You got 1.4 G out
of 20, which is not the same as 1.4 G out of 50. Rebecca was looking for
10G+.
