Re: WDSC 7.0.0.2 still requires 800MB downloadfromInternet

From: Wilt, Charles

Joe,

I think the answer was buried in Eric's reply....

When installing the 7.0.0.2 update, you need "something" from the original
install.

This "something" comes from one of three places:
1) A locally defined repository
2) The IBM repository on the web
3) The original CD's.

If you're always going to download the zip, consider turning off the IBM
repository.

I'm just slow today, Charles. I've already downloaded the ZIP, with the
idea being it could be used for multiple installations without having to go
to the Internet.

It would seem to me that if the ZIP is complete, that the Installer
shouldn't go to the Internet at all, and if the ZIP is NOT complete, that it
should be complete, otherwise that defeats the purposes of downloading it
ahead of time.

Am I missing some fundamental point?

Joe
