Joe,
Here's what I do...
(SNIP really good instructions)
A fixpack does not re-distribute unchanged components, so you cannot
expect to do an new install directly from a fixpack repository.
But I wasn't trying to do a new install. I was trying to update an existing
7.0.0.0 install to 7.0.0.2 by applying the 7.0.0.2 fixpack. This doesn't
seem like an unreasonable request, and it doesn't seem like it should need
to download 800MB of additional data from the Internet.
Using the
Packaging utility allows me to create a single location where the entire
product can reside, allowing installation of product AND fixes in a single
pass from a local source.
Yup, I understand this concept and I'm probably going to do what you
suggest, Eric, but I'm still confused as to what exactly the IBM page was
trying to get me to do, and why it worked the way it did. Their
instructions were NOT for updating an existing repository, and I still
suspect there's a problem with the installer or the fixpack.
