Free Up disk space after updates, was WDSCi Lite & Turnover plugin

Hi Michael,

If you have installed the RWD 6.0.1 update then you might want to try and 
run the Clean Up action in the Rational Product Updater.  This deletes old 
updates that have been superceeded.  In some cases I have seen it free 
upto 1.5 GB. 

The downside is that you won't be able to rollback to any of those updates 
(most people aren't even aware that you can rollback so it probably 
doesn't matter).

Fine print:  Only some updates are "rollback-able", RWD 6.0.1 and the 
upcoming WDSc 6.0.1 are not rolback-able.  So you might as well go ahead 
and click that Clean Up button after applying them.

Yeah, but don't we do that anyway with the updates?  So far I've 
downloaded about 4-5 GB for a few installs of WDSC 6.0 

Okay, sorry about the snide remark.  Your point is valid.  IBM doesn't 
want the product available without proper licensing either.  I think 
that's really the big reason it isn't available for download.  I'm trying 
to figure out how to free up enough disk to handle the duplicate installs. 

 Maybe I'll just keep running the full WDSC.  (Kind of funny to have disc 
space problems in these days, but I didn't spec the system I use.)

btw- You've given me another reason to want TurnOver -- I really get 
frustrated by the library list issue with CODE Designer.

The V5R4 announcement had dates in it.  It was sometime later this month.

WDSC Lite is not something you will just be able to download and install. 
What you might have heard was that the updates to WDSC will be able to 
download later this month.

Remember, WDSC Lite is "Lite" in its runtime memory requirements.  It 
actually requires more disk space, than WDSC.  This is because you have to 


do a full WDSC install, and it will then create a second "lite" install 
from that first one.  So if you could download it, you would be talking 
about 5-6 full CD's worth of download.
