- IBM ships hardcopy release notes to users with the new release. These
- release notes document the system README files. The main README is
- called /usr/lpp/bos/README. It tells you how to find the other READMEs:

- /usr/lpp/bos/README on my system is 1554 lines long. Ill admit I havent
- read the whole thing. (Its on my list, right after War and Peace). But,
- when I have an anomalous problem, one of the things I always do first
- is grep the READMEs for a few choice keywords concerning my problem.
