Re: 7.1 - Slipping LIC for Respin H

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Considering that it does not take all the much longer to apply all of 
the appropriate groups, my choice is always to do that. The only 
mitigating factor is download time, if you can afford the time to 
download all of them or not.

Ordered separately the groups/cumulative can push 60GB or better. Order 
them all together and IBM compresses out multiple copies of PTFs, when 
the same one shows up in multiple groups for instance, and makes a nice 
compact download. Yesterday I downloaded all the V6 groups/Cumulative 
exclusive of the various WAS and MQ groups and only got four images, 
instead of the 20 or so I might have needed.
