Re: Saving WDSC CDs to the Server

["Sarah Poger Gladstone" <listmember@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A better approach is to use the IBM Packaging Utility to create a
repository on your PC hard drive. Load the contents of the CDs, plus
the WDSC updates from the Internet into the repository. When this is
done, FTP the whole thing up to the IFS. Then let Apache serve up the
IFS folder.   What is nice about this is when someone loads WDSC from
your Apache repository, they will get the latest version of WDSC. ( as
apposed to load WDSC, then do an update. )

I have an earlier post to this list that includes a silent install
script for IBM Installation Manager + WDSC. It works VERY well with an
HTTP-type repository or with a file-system based repository.

HTH,
Sarah
