I managed to download the ML 11 from ibm web site. I would like to create this 4330011.tar.gz file to a CD, so that I can use this to install directly to the RS/6000 by 'smitty update_all'. I don't want to ftp to server and gzip it. How would I create the CD in AIX format? Thanks!

How would I create the CD in AIX format? Thanks! This is how I do it: Untar the whole lot into a directory, run 'inutoc .' in the said directory, and use mkisofs to generate a Rock Ridge .iso. Remember to use /usr/sys/inst.images as your file prefix for easy installation from smitty. Once you have the .iso file, its as easy task to burn it to a disc with any CD-writing programs that you may have available. Not the most elegant solution, but works for me ;). Regards, Daniel
