Re: V6.0 install and update time revisited

I'm running cable connection at home and 200 megs usually completes in 
less than 15 minutes.

[WDSCI-L] V6.0 install and update time revisited






When I install WDSc 6.0 from the DVD it takes about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. 
That's not bad.  But then the updates need to be applied and that's where 
the challenge begins.  I'm downloading over a DSL connection (shared 
throughout our organization).  After running the update function for about 

5 hours, I had to disconnect everything else from the network (or our 
administrator would be upset at me for staying connected through the 
night) and go home.  The download was a few hundred MB.  I really don't 
know how long it takes to do the update since I've always had to leave it 
over night.  I know the iSeries marketing folks were into the term 
"Extreme" a few years back, but I hate having to apply the term extreme to 

the update process.

Does anyone have any idea when the updates would be available for 
download?  I've got several developers to apply them to and I'm already 
hearing grumbles from the network folks about the consumption of bandwidth 

for the update(s).
