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.

I just downloaded (hopefully successfully -- the Download Director

WinDoze desktop as a .bin file.

Now how do I get it onto our V6 box? The .txt file that came with it
isn't very informative, and the link it gives to the DisInfoCenter (and
the instructions on where to go therein) seem to have been intended for
some other universe.
