 DESCRIPTION-

        I have had to use the selective install AFTER applying
        FixPak 1.  Now I have a mix of fixed and older files.
        I attempted to update the files that had been selectively
        installed, but the archive failed.  It would be much
        easier if I could buy an updated install CD with the
        latest version of the OS.

        ATTRIBUTES:

        MEDIUM Value
        Desired next FIXPACK

        Supplemental text:

        I contacted IBM directly to ask for this, and am still waiting
        for a reply.  The amount of time it takes to create and
        install updates via floppies is excessive.  If CD-ROMS aren't
        feasible, IBM should at least provide a way to install updates
        by putting all the files in a single directory on a file
        server.  I would prefer to create a new, patched installation
        file set by copying the orignal installation directory from
        CD-ROM to a server and applying updates over the installation
        files.
