    re: .0
    	I don't know about putting the kits on dua0, but I did it from
    dua1. (answered 'no' to decwindows, then rebooted and installed
    decwindows from dua1)  The decwindows installation is done
    from opa0: (a pain if you have to edit anything, like I did because
    the power went out in the middle of the upgrade :^( )

RE: .0

You indicate doing an UPGRADE of 5.2. The DECwindows volume provided
with the 5.2 release is NOT "installable" by itself. That is, you can NOT
use VMSINSTAL to provide DECwindows. What you want to do is

	$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR

to provide the desired DECwindows functionality. You can have the DECwindows
save sets on DUA0: if you need to.

Note: The required DECwindows files were provided when you upgraded VMS.
