They did not say how this saves money. I agree with you knowing that they still
have to do custom printing on the CD. I didn't feel like arguing that point
with them because it was almost lunchtime.

If you go into the new readme directory, there is a list of the PTFs included.
I told the guy at IBM that if they wanted to save some money to stop printing
the "book" that comes with the CD and leave everything in the readme directory -
 even the instructions. The instructions are all I look at anyway - and then
only to see if I have to do anything other than GO PTF > 8 and change a few
options.

He said that they have heard about this from many customers - if this bothers
you, call or write IBM to let them know.
