Since the list is understandably quiet on Friday night, I'll jump in with a
reply but keep in mind my operator skills are lacking to say the least.
Last I recall, you have to put the CDs into the iSeries and build up a list
of them into images.
Electronic alternative that you're talking about is available if images are
.iso extensions (I think that's what those .bin files are from IBM).
This is as good a link as any, if you have .iso images:

BTW, if you have CD burning software on your PC like Roxio, you can
transform the physical CDs into .iso images on your hard drive or IFS.

Subject: Copying PTF CD's to IFS
Perhaps just brain dead late on a Friday but........
I recall (and I think I've done this before but the steps escape me)
that you could copy the CD's from a PC to the IFS and then use that to
ADDIMGCLGE. I've searched the IBM site but can't find the steps to copy
the CD to the IFS. Lots of hits on downloading BIN files but nothing
about transferring media.
It'll save me many trips back and forth to the computer room. I have a
cume and many groups.
Can someone point me to the appropriate link? Thanks.
