Subject: [Veritas-bu] Sidebar discussion about: help upgrading NBU 4.5GA
to 4.5 MP 6


Could somebody provide some definition(s) as to what makes up a "feature
pack"
and what makes up a "maintenance pack?"

Are there dependencies between them?

Can they be installed in any combination?

Thanks.

... and as I recall, the uninstall step asks if this is being done as 
part of an upgrade, to which you answer "Yes". ;-)
(sorry, uninstalls make me nervous!)  cheers, wayne
