Jim - Check your support contract to ensure that the distribution media
is set to your needs.  Contract renewals have been known to acquire
spec changes mysteriously, though not maliciously.  We specify mag tape
(soon to change, hopefully! :) :) ), but we occasionally order a patch
or SUBSYS product which comes on DDS tape.

I'm sure you're also aware that HP is making CD-ROM the preferred
method of distribution, with DDS available on request (at least that's
what I've heard and read).

I just received my 5.5 distribution, and lo and behold it is on
CD-ROM.  As I run a 935 sans CD-ROM I presume that I will have to ask
HP Support for new media.  However I was wondering if anyone could
enlighten me as to why HP would change the distribution media to a
supported installation without instructions to do so.
