Re: installing v6

[Dave Murvin <davem@xxxxxxxx>]

I just updated a older version 6 at a client site to the latest 
version using the Rational Updater.  I first had to download an 
updated Rational Updater.  Then I selected all the updates (there 
were several) and pressed enter.  I got a pop up window letting me 
know that the updates were rather large (1,250 MB !) and I had an 
option to download a zip file, then expand the zip file locally and 
run it through the Rational Updater.  It was not apparent how to 
download the zip file, so I pressed enter waiting for something to 
let me select the download version.  The updater just started 
downloading Zip files, upacking them and possibly doing some 
updating.  After 3 or 4 zip files were downloaded and processed, I 
just left for the day (it was quiting time anyway) and the update 
process was finished successfully when I came in the next morning.

The point of all this is that I knew the WDSC update files were large 
(I think I have seen 30 or 50 MB before), but this is the first time 
I have seen any download for 1,250 MB!

PS: Don't try this on your dial up line. :)
