RE: iSeries Access for Windows Updates

Dave,

I've been installing from the QIBM directory for quite a while.  It's even
better now-a-days since when you load a CA service pack to the iSeries, it
updates the install directory.  Now when you install, you get the latest
level; no separate step to install the SP.

What size AS/400 or iSeries are we talking about?  Is it running at close to
capacity now?  What about PTFs, are you current on cume and group PTFs?
