Re: Just downloaded a PTF group, but now what . . . ?

 I scanned this thread and may have missed this suggestion but you 
should use GetiPTF that Bryan Deitz has written as an open source 
application.  Just order the groups and/or cume by FTP and then use the 
information that IBM sends to submit GetiPTF to batch.  It will create 
the image catalog, download the images, verify and mount it.  Then all 
you have to do is run the install.  Drop dead simple.
