Go to the page for "Support for IBM System p" and click on "Quick links
to AIX fixes".

After you tell it where you are and where you want to go, and you are
looking at a page with your 943 fixes, select "Download all filesets
using the FTP command".

You are probably using the wrong FTP client. Forget anything fancy, or
GUI, or Windows. Log onto the target AIX system and issue the linemode
FTP command from there to download these fixes. Be sure to cd to a
directory in a filesystem that has enough space, before entering the ftp
command - that upgrade is almost 2GB. Follow their instructions exactly,
and it will work, and you will get the right file names.

It is especially important that you DO NOT use a MS Windows system to
download these!
Hi Roger,
i did it just the way you mentioned - the original AIX52-ML07
FTP-client- and got the ~900 filesets, named 1.bff - 94x.bff.
To convert to "normal human readable" filenames you can use
the gencopy command.
