Update NIM lpp_soure and spot for rte setup

        Hi;

        Having a problem with a nim server that I hope someone can shed some
light on;

        AIX 5.1 Nim server; I am doing rte installs and everything works great.
I recently completed an upgrade of my lpp_source and spot from 5100-03
to 5100-04 using smit bffcreate and smit nim_res_op - clients now
install as ML04 (woohoo).

        I would like to add some packages into my lpp_source and spot so that
they are installed by default on target clients. Specifically, the
additional documentation/manpages and a package required by the C
compiler (bos.adt.libm).

        The extra documentation and manpages exist on a CD from IBM. I used
smit bffcreate to copy all the packages on the CDROM to my lpp_source
directory and then used smit nim_res_op to do an 'update all' on my spot
image - I didn't get any errors. HOWEVER, when I install a client, the
extra documentation and manpages are not there. Am I missing something
in my lpp_source/spot update procedure?

        TIA,

        Chris
