Does V4.1 DECnet installation also require V4.0 media?

The mandatory upgrade is installed during the installation. It asks if you
have a upgrade tape, and if so it loads it during the regular installation.
Saves a kernel rebuild!

You don't have to install 4.0. What you do have to do is execute the following:

cd /usr/etc/subsets

foreach i ( U*410.lk )
 touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' `
 touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' | sed -e 's/lk$/ctrl/' `
 touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' | sed -e 's/lk$/scp/' `
end

chmod 744 U*400.scp

This creates the 4.0 control files so products like DECnet think that 4.0 
is installed. 

This is mentioned in the 4.1 release notes (or installation guide).
