RE: Order of PTFs at release upgrade

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eric

I don't remember either, hence my YMMV comment. However, if you can 
use image catalogs to get to 5.2, the image catalog support is 
probably sufficient to do the PTF's once you get there. Some things I 
do remember are worth watching out for on various releases:

- The Load PTF or OS Install process will abort if a CD from the same 
set is still in the actual, real, non-virtual, drive.
- On V5R2 you had to actually load all the catalogs in the image into 
the optical virtual drive.

Hope this is useful to someone.
