So now I have all my disks.  Now, I had always thought you were supposed 
to
install the cume, and then the group PTFs (because the groups tended to 
come
more often than the cume).

However, IBM threw me a curve by saying that from C2134510 on, cumes would
include the Database and HIPER group PTFs.  Not only that, according to 
the
documentation, you should apply any included groups BEFORE you apply the
cume.  The best I can read from this is that I'm supposed to install the
Database and HIPER groups prior to the cume, then the cume, then the other
groups.  NOt only that, I should IPL after the cume install.

1. Database/HIPER
2. Cume
3. (IPL)
4. Other groups (Java, HTTP, etc.)
5. (IPL)

What do you all think?
