[comp.unix.aix] What luck with 3003 tape?

paw@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Pat Wilson) (02/28/91)

We haven't received the "official" 3003 upgrade tape yet, but I was
wondering if anyone who _has_ gotten it has had problems with the
install.  3002 was a rude experience for me - we just don't have
lots of disk space lying around, and it wasn't the most straight-
forward update under those circumstances...

(What I'm really wondering is who knows when we'll get our tape(s),
but I understand that's one of the more closely guarded secrets...)

We installed 3003 from a pre-release tape and the installation procedure
was about the same as for 3002.  Don't know if that holds for the
general release, which an IBM person told me would start shipping this
week.

If you don't have a good chunk of free diskspace, then hang it up.
Various and sundry lpp's will undoubtably break.  They did for me. :-(

Good luck.
