RE: A worried New comer with a CUM install.

[Eric <Eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would suggest that you do two full systems saves to be on the safe side. 
 Do not forget to save your configuration data as well.  The CUMs and PTFs 
not as scary as they look.  Read the instructions carefully.  Although this 
is not a difficult task, I hope that someone with experience will help 
guide you through this process.

If you have kept up on cum for the most part, it really shouldn't be that 
bad.  Just make sure you have a current SAVSYS before you start (an entire 
system
save - option 21 on the save menu - is nice to have handy too - it includes 
the SAVSYS).

Follow the instructions and you should be fine!
