Experience level is low on AIX; I'm a Solaris guy, primarily. Picked up
HP-UX though; I find AIX similar to HP-UX from what I've seen thus far.

Seach this group for - Aix for Sun guide
Its a nice redbook for Sun Admins using AIX . IBM also provides a
redbook: AIX for HPUX Admin,. All redbooks can be found at

I am to lazy to look it up again

FILESET STATISTICS
------------------
357 Selected to be installed, of which:
1 Passed pre-installation verification
1 Replaced by superseding updates
355 Deferred (see *NOTE below)
----
1 Total to be installed

*NOTE The deferred filesets mentioned above will be processed after
the
installp update and its requisites are successfully installed.

I don't know if this is just because I'm doing a preview, or not?
Anything to worry about?

Not really. The system would like to have the latest bos.rte.install
fileset installed before it will process with any further installation.

So i would just install this fileset since it should really do no harm
by using
$ installp -d /PathToLppSource -aX bos.rte.install 5.2.0.88
or use smitty just to install this package.

After that do your preview again. The step above is normaly not needed
but you should do it see what a preview provides you on information.

Oh - i have forgotten an step after the final reboot.
Do a
$ oslevel -r # Or was it -s ?
to check if you are on the desired level. If not - do not worry - just
come back to c.u.a ;-)

BTW: I hope that you updating your system directly to CSP08 since TL08
had also some serious bugs afaik.
