Unattended upgrade (wa Re: how to have AS/400 console at home )

Neil:

Now, by all means, I agree. Just wanted to air my paranoia.

Anyway, the custom DVD seems an excellent choice. I'd love 'em even though I'd 
probably still stay on site. The simple waste of time between the message to 
change CDs appearing and later seeing the message is enough to be irritating, 
especially once you're a couple changes into the process. There seems no good 
reason that DVD in itself isn't already a common medium for iSeries storage.
