RE: OS/400 V5R1 install problem

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jay,

Verify the contents of your disks so that you know what hasn't been
installed.  You should also be able to review your installation history,
which may also give you a good detailed listing.  Somewhere in the
packing lists should be a listing of the contents of each disk.

If you're cool with the SLIC and the whole OS, then your plan sounds
reasonable.  I would do a cume PTF apply between steps three and four
below, then again after the licensed program install.  (Now that you're
getting really good at it ;-))

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
