It is my understanding that you are supposed to have an IBM CE install your machine for you, and he/she will run topology and mail back the disk for you. What's it for? Well, it let's IBM know your exact machine configuration which makes diagnosing problems and issuing field upgrades much easier. The data can also be used for quality tracking, etc... +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.
