Re: Updated FM6 CD?

["Dov Isaacs" <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas,

You are correct. Your CDROM has the updated version of FrameMaker(+SGML);
you should obviously skip step (5). I don't know whether the manuals
on the CDROM were updated wrt/ step (6). I am pretty sure that the CDROM
does not have any newer version of the drivers or anything else per steps
(1) through (3). Note that if you have Acrobat 5, replace steps (1) through
(3) with one step, "install Acrobat 5".
