Just got the word from Dell that V.4 2.01 is available. Since it's net.politically.incorrect for THEM to mention it, I will. (Nomex.suit ready for action!). Here's the announcement: +>[begin std.stampede] +> +>The DELL UNIX V.4-2.01 update has finally gotten to our stocking locations in +>our Manufacturing departments here at DELL. BBBBBBBBuuutttttt, +>before you call for it, please take the time to read the following +>message to avoid confusion. +> +> +>1) It would be incorrect net.behavior for us to announce to the +> USEnet groups that it is here. However, if one of y'all +> care to mention it, that's your decision............... +> (if you do this, PLEASE copy this *entire* message) +> +>2) New DELL V.4 customers will receive it. New machines that have V.4 +> ordered for them will have it installed on them. +> +>3) If you've purchased *support contract*, you can contact us via +> phone numbers that you usually call. PLEASE DON'T ALL CALL +> US TONIGHT!! But, please call us over the next couple of +> days to request it. You can use email to : support@uudell.dell.com +> but if you do, please *include* your original PO #, customer +> number, &/or system service tag(near the power cord on your +> system) so we can properly get shipping information on you. +> Please also include a *shipping address* so we can insure +> that it comes to the correct place. +> +>4) If you've *not purchased support*, you *MUST* contact your DELL +> sales representative, as there's a charge of (USA) $50.00 +> to cover the costs of duplication, shipping, and the media. +> +> The DELL Part Number is: 14536 Steve sent out a correction; that number is actually 14538. +> The DELL SKU Number is: 450-1020 +> +>5) The release is installable via: pkgadd -d ctape1 +> Just as you installed your original O/S tape. +> +>6) If you *chose *DEFAULT* system disk parameter sizes* when +> you first installed V.4, *do not install *ALL* packages +> at once. Do them one-at-a-time to insure there's enough +> diskspace on your system as it copies some information +> from tape to a "temp" file, and then to the proper place. +> +>7) *AFTER* installing the 2.01 update, *THEN* re-install the +> security update diskette you received earlier this month. +> *IT IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE 2.01 UPDATE*, as we were +> notified by AT&T after the update-2.01 had cleared Test & +> Validation. +> +>**Please understand that from your phone call, it will take our +>**shipping group about 4->7 *working days* to get it to you. +> +>If you've got additional questions, or comments, please contact us +>at 1-800-624-9896 x 6915, or via email: support@uudell.dell.com +> Cheers!
