RE: OS/400 V5R1 install problem

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
