Oh no.....    Not another manual !!!

Do I have to read these things?  

I have lots of old manuals I read.  

Doesn't that count for something?  

Manuals take time.  

And it doesn't get the job done while you are reading.  :-)

Just kidding.  Before you all bombard me with emails saying I have to 
read 45 more manuals before I get started please let me assure you I 
know, I have to read everything under the sun.  I have done a number of 
other upgrades.  That's why I am asking these questions because I know 
each upgrade has it's rules to follow.

Pat,

You are really great.  This is exactly what I needed.  I read the first 
manual and found out I have to wipe out everything on the new 520 and 
install v4r4 then upgrade to v5r1 then I'm guessing (since the manual 
doesn't cover it) upgrade to v5r4.  It says I have to do this Multi-step 
upgrade.  It sounds like fun.

Thank you Pat very much for the manuals.  I don't know what I'd do with 
out them.

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz
