SUN patches

[badrinathn]

Hi,

I was reading the Free-solaris-Ebook.pdf and wanted to test out adding/managing patches.

The book mentions about downloading the patches from

Http://sunsolve.com/software/downloads

However, I cannot find the patches (or I don't know where to look for).

Could you please let me know how to download the latest patches from SUN. I need to use the patchadd command on the 'downloaded' patches or packages. (Since this is my first time, I need some help with downloads).

thanks,
Badrinath

the correct url is: sunsolve.sun.com
afaik there is no deep link like /software/downloads but you can use this link to get to the patches page

http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/os-patches

Best Regards, Franz

Also take a look at FAQ60-2530 for the codes returned when applying patches.
