Hi All,
A simple question (or ten). Are AIX fixes cumulative. I think that
they are, but I'd like some confirmation.

I have bos.rte.net.4.3.3.1 installed and WebSphere requires
box.rte.net.4.3.3.2 to be installed.

I have a choice of:

bos.rte.net.4.3.3.1
bos.rte.net.4.3.3.2
bos.rte.net.4.3.3.50
bos.rte.net.4.3.3.75
bos.rte.net.4.3.3.76

Do I just put 4.3.3.2 on or can I put on 4.3.3.76?

Why the jump in numbers anyway?

I also need X11.* fixes. There are not in the /aix/fixes/v4/os
directory on ftp.software.ibm.com, which is where I'd expect to find
them, so can anyone point me in the right direction.

I've not installed any custom fixes like this before under AIX.

If fixes have other prerequisites, do I have to manually manage
them? Does smit/installp automatically work out and find any
prerequisites?

Under HP-UX, software comes as .depot (tar) files. I can merge
them all back together to have one big fix bundle, any only install
that one depot file which has all of it's prerequisites together. Do I
have to do this under AIX? Can I do this under AIX?

Sorry for the newbie type question, but it has 4-5 years since
I've worked seriously on AIX.

Thanks for any and all responese.
