Re: Current CUME 5298

Kirk,

  Thanks for the great info on how to use this cume on an upgrade.

  I think that IBM is so wrong in respinning the unstable (good
description) cume with the same number.  IBM should acknowledge they
made a mistake, and say that cume is bad for installs.  IBM should or
even MUST Cut a new cume with a new number.  Its pure Bu11shit that we
now have two cumes out there with the same number.

JMHO

 Pete
