So if you change your mind after permanently applying PTF's you have to go back to the install CD's and reinstall the operating system (or licensed program, whatever), then reinstall all the PTF's you applied. ...Neil "Sue Baker" <smbaker@us.ibm.com> Sent by: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com 2001/11/16 12:33 Please respond to midrange-l To: midrange-l@midrange.com cc: Subject: Re: Oh where has my disk space gone?

Applying PTFs perm, whether the MF or the SF/SI ones does clean up some space. However, be aware that if you ever need to remove a PTF, it's almost impossible when they're applied perm. If you want to remove a PTF, you've got to be able to revert to the previous level of the modules, so a backup has to be on disk. It's these "backups" that are eliminated when a PTF is applied perm and this is the space you regain. Sue iSeries Advanced Technical Support eMail: smbaker@us.ibm.com
