We're running VM/ESA 2.1 as well. I installed ADSM without SES. I was a
baaaad boy (in my best Costello voice). I read the install exec and
after all was said and done it looked to me like it just did a TAPE LOAD.
So that's what I did. Then once I figured out how the maintenance worked,
I was was a bad boy some more. I put the new files on a new disk and
compared each one to what I already had. If it was different I kept it,
if the same I over wrote it with the old one. This way I know what files
changed when. It also gives me the ability to apply or back out a
level-set by swapping disk addresses. And it only uses twice the disk
space. :-)

I will say that I appreciate the option to order fixes SESified or not.

Funny, I've never had a problem with TAPE LOAD. :->
