The initial RSU of a VM release is often fixing serious errors, your experience confirms this.
But, if you don't need FTP to upload a newer RSU (e.g. can use PCOMM filetransfer, or a minidisk of a VM system hosting a secondlevel installation, then one could consider skipping the initial RSU. In fact, it is not really skipping, it is replacing the inital RSU with a newer one. 2009/11/19 Michael MacIsaac <mike...@us.ibm.com> > > Marian, > > > When I install z/VM it asks for RSU disk.
