Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
For Solaris 7-9 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 may also be applied to the Miniroot, which is located in the Boot
directory on Net Install servers and Boot servers. 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
as described above.  You may also refer to the man pages for patchadd.
 
Example:
 
         # patchadd -C <path_to_image>/Tools/Boot .
