yes.  I have held the CD-ROM disk in question in my own two hands, and 
attempted to do an install on a DS5000/125 therefrom.

Funny you should mention that.  To anyone contemplating purchasing a /125, I
*strongly* recommend a config with factory-installed software, at least for
now.  One of my clients has one of these beasts and the installation procedure
from the 4.2A CD-ROM usually -- but not always -- ends up with error messages
about undefined symbols with 'dc' and 'kn02' prefixes.  (This is with a DEC
person doing the installation, not me.  I wouldn't be involved in this at all,
this is *way* out of my field, but I had already established to my client that
I'm good at troubleshooting things I've never seen before.  I did get it to
work once, but I can't reconstruct what I did....)

ok, I'll mail it too, but this is as much a plea for help on the 5000/125 
problem (ie, has anyone else encountered this, and how did you fix it ) as an
answer to your question, so I'll post this as well.
