   Whine Whine! There ain't nothun better in the PTF space than Image
   Catalogs! Nuthin! I just use an FTP script on Frankie that pulls down
the
   PTFs into the IFS. Seriously the best thing since the beginning of
i-time.
   Nearly every time I talk to people who are still using CDs and DVDs
it's
   the same old 'We've always done it that way.' (Gosh it hurts just to
type
   that!)  Bandwidth is cheap. Get some. Download them at home if you
have
   to. Use your neighbors DSL, your fathers Cable-Modem, or the company
   OC-12!
    
   Seriously get some bandwidth. Forget the plastic. Get image catalogs
one
   way or another. They are faster, less errors, faster, easier, faster,
more
   portable, and faster. You can do PTFs remotely, even entire OS
upgrades
   and never touch the box. And did I mention they were faster?

     Trying to use sndptford to get current v5r4 cume
     to apply a few weeks from now. Cannot take network traffic
     of a 800mb download.
     It appears with sndptford I can no longer get dvd.

     I have 4 diff customers to do in Feb.
     IBM probably saves a bundle doing this.
     My job just got exponentially harder.
     Have not used fix central after others had a multitude of problems,
     plus it doesn't seem to like one pc and many systems not
     related to each other.
     Wondering how others who support multiple customers,
     multiple machines are doing this?
     Right now seems I will be scheduling/monitoring 4 diff
     downloads at 2am (2 custs are 24x7). Since each download
     is only the ptfs needed, a download to one system may not
     have everything another system needs?
