Re: Updates and upgrades for RDi 9.6

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Peter, these two zip files correspond to the contents of (two) DVD's. 
Unzip both files in the same directory and you should end up with two 
sub-directories, DISK1 and DISK2. Drill down DISK1 to find the 
DISKTAG.INF file.

Fire up Installation Manager and navigate through FILE > PREFERENCES > 
ADD REPOSITORY. Click on the BROWSE button and navigate/select the above 
INF file.

Whilst you're in the REPOSITORIES panel, check the "Search service 
repositories during installation and updates" Leave this unticked so as 
to avoid the IBM verification that is tripping you up at the moment.

Also, if you already have IM up to date, check that FILE > PREFERENCES > 
UPDATES is also unticked so to avoid IM checking for updates of itself.

Once you're done, follow through the INSTALL option on the main IM 
panel. (NOTE: RDi 9.6. is not an update of 9.5. - it's a fresh install 
of a new version.)

Hope this helps.

Brian.
