Hi Lou-
There have been no changes that I know about that should have affected
the RS/6000's installs. I've never seen that particular error message
before, but from the context, it sounds like the netinstall server
failed/died while it was sending information, and the client aborted the
installation. I'd verify the install server is still up and running with
ops, and try the install again.
BTW- my last day working for I.S. was the 31st- Tim, Jon, or Kim should
be able to tell you who to refer the RS/6000 problems to- I'm not around the
Institue any longer.
