Default Seeking 5.2 ML 3 Install DVD

I'm looking for the 5.2 ML 3 install DVDs. If you have an old set that you
no longer need, it would be great if you could pass them along to us.

Why? We're going up to 5.3, but we need to make sure we can get back to
this old level, just in case we run into a challenge. Having the install
media would be the final recourse if all else poses a problem.

Thanks.

Only if you have a mksysb on a bootable device. It is possible to boot from
the install media, then restore from a mksysb on a non-bootable device.
Heaven help you if the boot media version is not the same as the version on
the mksysb.

you could install the mksysb through NIM.
Furthermore you would need a NIM master with the same level...

That's something we're going to investigate once we're up on 5.3.
