Hiho-

     Just installed a 7210 025 DVD writer on our old 7026 B80. It came
up easily so I tried an mkcd which seemed to work until the system (AIX
52-004) complained that some files required for the creation of the cd
or dvd image were not available on the source system but could be found
in the specified filesets. One of these filesets was
devices.pci.77101223.rte.5.2.0.50.bff which I downloaded but couldn't
install as the system claimed the prereq, base fileset
(devices.pci.77101223.rte..5.2.0.0), was missing. I couldn't find this
file set on my 5.2 CD release so I went back to the IBM download site
which didn't have it either. Where am I going wrong? Also, is there a
way to skinny down the mksysb image?

thanks,
Bill
