We are having a bit of trouble with the HPUX releases as well. 
Since we are heavily invested in 9000/200's, most of our machines
are stranded from HPUX 6.0. To solve this, we are in the process of
getting things together enought to switch most of the machines over 
to the 4.3 distributions out of Berkeley and Utah. We have been 
running the 4.3 on a 9836 here for a couple of months. It has some 
bugs in it, but it is mostly usable. Since we have to maintain seperate
versions anyway (we can upgrade them all to 6.0) it looks more cost
effective for us to switch to 4.3 and in general dump HPUX.
