Re: Downloading OS/400 from IBM over the internet and installing from these images

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Darryl,

   Once you have * i5/OS * downloaded you should have zip files. Unzip 
them and the resulting objects can be placed in the image catalog.  Note 
that the names of the images when you do it this way will be HUGELY long 
and you can either use them as is or shorten them (your call.)

    Don't worry about having too many images, just load whatever you 
have. The system will ignore duplicate software in the catalog.
