For Solaris 7-8 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris. Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be described below as special instructions. The following example installs a patch to a standalone machine: example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02 The following example removes a patch from a standalone system: example# patchrm 104945-02 For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages. Special Install Instructions: ----------------------------- This patch can also be applied to the Miniroot, which is located in the Boot directory on Net Install servers and Boot servers. It needs to be patched in both locations. Please note that a patched Net Install server will create patched Boot servers. In other words, if you patch a Net Install server, and subsequently make a Boot server from it using the 'setup_install_server' command, the newly-created Boot server will incorporate the patch applied to the Net Install server. Use 'patchadd -C' for this patch, rather than the generic invocation described in Install.info, Item #2. Example: # patchadd -C /Tools/Boot . README -- Last modified date: Monday, July 23, 2001
