Re: 9.6 install

Extracting a zip with 7zip is SO much faster that the "native" unzipper (on Windows at least).   Once I saw the difference, I never make the mistake of unzipping with whatever Microsoft calls it's archive tool....that might account for the slowness if you aren't using 7zip.

The install was night/day different. Downloading the images didn't take that long, but extracting the zip files had an estimate of 1 hour plus for each of them.

Copying the workspace was great also.

It would just be nice to have a short, concise (i.e. one page of bullet points) step-by-step on how to do this - I somehow think this would be a monumental task for IBM (LOL). It's been a while, but I vaguely recall similar frustrations with a previous install.

Maybe this is a bigger hurdle to SEU users than you think?
