Re: burning v5r4 cumulative ptfs to cd

Scott,

I use image catalogs all the time. I can load the images, and then do the
upgrade/PTF or what ever from home, and not have to come into the office on
Saturday, when no one else is here. VPN into the HMC to control the
console, and do the PTF install from the comfort of my easy chair.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but... do image catalogs make sense
if you have only one machine to install to? I see people discuss them
frequently on this and other forums, but I really don't understand the
point. Why waste gigabytes of disk space on CD images when you can just
load the PTFs directly from the CD?
