Re: CLue to duplicate appts.

Just as an FYI for all interested parties, I spoke with a QA engineer at
3Com working on the Pam VII, Flash Sheridon if your interested, and he
indicated that this is the best way to avoid problems recovering from a
hard reset, i.e. install all PRCs first, and then installing the PDBs.
He noted that there are several apps that have problems if their
database is installed before they are. It has helped me (w/6 meg worth
of apps/dbs on my 8 meg TRG upgrade, yikes)
