Subj: Re: fix pack installaton

From: Irv Spalten <ispalten@us.ibm.com>

Ivan, not sure how you are installing the FP over the LAN, you were not
very specific.

The reason for the re-boot is to handle LOCKED FILES. No way around it.
FSERVICE should have terminated after it displayed the message and the
user responded. 

There is a README.CID with the FP, read that as it might help.
