Re: V7R1 PTF's - If you're doing them: READ THIS

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I plan on going from V6R1 to V7R1 toward the tail end of March.

Any words of advice on when to apply this PTF in the entire upgrade process?
 Enough people have already gone to V7R1 that I hope I would be OK . . .

I'm on an i5 520.  I already have the install CDs and the V7R1 cume staged
in image catalogs.

Thanks.
