- Do you have any further information on the creation of
- the .toc files? I want to add some fixes to our regular
- AIX 3.2.3 load.
- In 3.1 I was able to install from a "bootable mksysb", then
- load it as if it was a IBM install tape.
-
- I would like be able to load everything from the bos.obj
- file, but I may be in dreamworld.

- Thanks
