Does that mean that CP will take the Diag280 I/O apart and move the separate
parts out over multiple alias devices (when available of course)?

Steve,
You can do a first-level install if you're willing to shut your VM
system down, or you have an extra LPAR to run the install in.

The simplest method to do a second-level install is to use an FTP server
on your PC to serve the DVD contents. If you're working from home, or
