All current copies of that CD should be fine.  Only pre-release customers who
had requested early ship of 5.1.1 were affected by the bad one, so the ones you
get now should be fine.

At one time, the newer ones had a date of March 19, 1999 and a "Revision B"
painted on them.  I have been unable to determine whether this was continued in
subsequent batches or not.

I had ordered the 5.1.1 CD, and was preparing to install from it, but Tivoli
put a notice on their web site not to use the CD to install from.  Some of
the files on it were corrupted, I think.  That notice is no longer on their
web site, but I am not sure what the status of the 5.1.1 CD is.  Does anyone
know if it is usable?  Did Tivoli reissue a new CD, or maybe the original
5.1.1 CD is OK to use?
