Re: Updating RDI

I asked the same thing here a while back. Eric or Edmund said that IBM 
Rational brought something from the 2nd disc into the basic product, so 
it's needed for the update.

Just go into Installation Manager, File => Preferences, and add it as your active Repository location.  If your internet connection is a decent speed - 3 Mbps is adequate - then it isn't bad.

I got so far, and then reached an impasse, as it asked for the 9.0 installation disk (or repository).  This is hard to locate.  Doesn't the IBM install manager know what is on my laptop already, and also know I have a valid license?  It seems like they could make this process a little simpler.  Any improvements on the horizon?
