The install images the same as if you had an image catalog. Remember all
of the subdirctories too.

Now there is a major catch, no autoload feature so it's a bit like loading
it from the HMC.

It takes some real fiddling but it can be done.

Jim,What are you loading with the TFTP/NFS server on your PC? I was under
the impression the Network Install required an IBM i to host the NFS image
catalog.

If you look you'll find all the DVDs for the LIC (called I_BASE) and
the 5 group DVDs which contain 90% of what you'll need. Most of those
DVDs are for Web Enablement (and useless).

If the system was preloaded, the partition is set up to take the
entire box, if that's what you want go for it, however if you are
going to partition the system you'll wind up blowing that partition away
and building all anew.
(read: lots of time formatting DASD units) Because I really dislike
the way IBM builds the preloaded partition, (no PTFS btw) I always
start from scratch anyway.

If you understand how the system does it's remote boot (BOOTP), you
can get away with using your PC as the TFTP/NFS server to build it
from images there, but it take some tinkering to get it working.

And that's compressed :)

My V7R3 download took about 12 hours.

Chris,

Same thing when I got my new system, but there were a few OS CDs as
well (I had to use them to install node). But now I'm on V7R3 and I
just have images of the CDs instead of physical ones. No biggie.
