Re: Upgrading V5R2 to V5R3 using Image Catalogs

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Evan

A small thing, maybe, but I can load all the CDs into a PTF image 
catalog, then fire it off and not have to be there to load the next one in.

The other is that you don't need to have physical CDs - if you can 
tolerate the download time, get the PTFs through FTP and load the 
image catalog from the downloaded images. I do not recommend this 
with CUMEs, as the download time is almost as long as getting the CDs 
delivered.

I find I like getting pre & coreqs when using the FTP method - helps 
assure getting what is needed. So this, in combination with image 
catalogs, is a useful strategy.

JMHO
