- Last week I ordered the PTF to fix the -H printer flag problem, after
- a few days...I received a tape with the fix and about 40-50 others on
- there.
-
- When I tried to install the fix, it came back with some wierd
- requirements that it said needed to be installed. So I called IBM
- again, and this time they told me that installp was broken and needed a
- fix. I ordered the appropriate PTF (U406852) and after a few more
- days...I received the fix. This tape only has about 10 other PTFs on
- it.
-
- All I want to know is why can't IBM just send me a complete tape with
- all the fixes on there. The access might be slower - but at
- least it would be faster than waiting for the mailman to deliver the
- next PTF tape. Better yet , take AIX , apply all the fixes available,
- test it and then ship a real working version that I don't have to keep
- calling IBM to get fixes for....
-
- Can someone send me a master list of PTF numbers and problems reported ?
- I'd like to know what else is out there that I don't know about...
-
- Thanks,
