TAPE INSTALL TABLE SHOWING WHAT NEW CUSTOMERS RECEIVE FROM BOULDER (ISMD). (Scheduled for shipping on December 17th, 1990.... Expected actual shipping is December 24th, 1990) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explaination of a Tape Install Ship: When we say tape install ship what we mean is 'new product code shipped from ISMD to new customers'. This is not corrective service but is shipped to new customers who purchase AIX 3.1. Code ---- What will happen is our new customers who do not order Preloaded systems will be shipped either 8MM, 1/4" or Diskettes made up of installp images and some update images. When the customer installs this code they will be at 3003. BUT NOT UNTIL THEY PUT ALL THE UPDATES ON ALSO. For example: bos.obj will be already at 3003 X11rte.obj will be already at 3003 sna.sna.obj will be at gold but there will be updates for SNA that will take the customer to 3003. The Installation Guide quietly mentions updatep images. But it never tells the customer to actually put them on. Preload, like new product from ismd, WILL NOT get the last minute additional updates that the auto ship and corrective service ship will receive.
