RE: Perm vs Temp PTF applies

<snip>
But if you have the latest cume + groups, you'll be caught up just as if
you had the latest 'respin.'

Agreed.

And the resaves are not just a catch up to the level of PTF's at some
point in time, well maybe they are. But you have to think of those people
starting out on a new system from scratch. They cannot take an I_BASE-A
disk and boot from that on a P8. They would need a much higher level.
But I do agree, that except in that case you should be ok with just newer
PTF's.

Here is another consideration. The OP is probably already past this, but
if you just HAVE to use DVD as an alternate IPL device it really helps if
that one is relatively current. One reason why I tend to get the latest
resave and keep it laying around.
