The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

But a "Slip of the Lic" implies you just replace the lic and are not
initializing the system. Otherwise it wouldn't be a slip of the lic, it
would be an install.

Subject: Re: Slip LIC install
From an existing system running either something earlier than 7.1, or 7.1
and you want to scratch it and start over?
Well, if you are at 7.1 and want to scratch it and start over you might be
ok if all you want is LIC. (No OS and LPPs.) Otherwise it's going to
have a dickens of a time finding volume 2 after the disks have been
initialized.
Upgrading from 5.4 or 6.1 to 7.1 using image catalogs is done all the
time. Unless you are REALLY short of disk space it's the best way to fly.
