RE: 6.0 Install

Right Click --> View worked for me for spool files via Softlanding's plug-ins.

The spool file looked fined in the view, but dang does it kill me PC while it 
is up.

Note that I deleted v5.1.2 before installing v6.

Also, just an FYI for anyone else out there w/o a DVD drive on their PC.  As 
look as you have one someplace on the network, you could always copy the DVD to 
the network someplace and install from there.  That's how I do it and an 
install from the network is supported by IBM.  If you've got the room, copy the 
folder down from the network to your local PC and install from there.  With a 
local copy, you'll get the fastest install possible.


HTH,
