If this is the case then I think that ordering for FTP download from Fix Central is the way to go.
You for sure will get what you need for pretty much any given LPAR.

Note that this parm is gold for you if you are doing one partition as it
tells IBM that you only want PTFs for stuff (and languages) YOU have
installed on the requesting partition. This could save you hours :-)

IF you intend to distribute these PTFs to other systems that may not
have the same product load this will be a problem.
