This is not quite true, the "required PTFs"  that  come on an extra 
CD-ROM give you
a menu similar to those upgrade preparation menus when converting from 
CISC-to-RISC.
You are able to accept the license agreement(s) from there in advance 
and I didn't
need to babysit that upgrade to press the F14-button to accept them on a 
one-by-one basis.
There was a memo to users describing that process.

HTH, Philipp
