V5R4M0 TO V6R1M0 PTF/FIX CROSS-REFERENCE SUMMARY

 
NOTE:  V6R1M0 PTFS/FIXES CANNOT BE DOWNLOADED
         ELECTRONICALLY TO A V5R4M0 SYSTEM.  IF ATTEMPTED,
         ERRORS OR INCOMPLETE PTF ORDERS WILL RESULT.
         CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ORDERING THESE PTFS/FIXES IN
         PREPARATION FOR THE UPGRADE SHOULD CONTACT THEIR
         PROVIDER OF SOFTWARE SERVICE AND ORDER
         THE PTFS/FIXES ON MEDIA.

IBM did a pretty good job of hiding that, eh?

I've had V6R1 lpar's for so long it might just be a habit of mine to 
download them to one of those and then ftp it to my V5R4 machines prior to 
upgrade.
