Hello.

I am running Solaris 8 on an Ultra-10. My last fresh install was in Dec. 2000. Since then I have applied a couple of maintenance units and have patched my box religiously. I have noticed that I have over 800 patches in /var/sadm/patch. Is there any clean and safe way to remove these? I don't want to move them and create a link on a bigger filesystem, I would like to remove them entirely, at least the older revisions of the same patch. Is there anything I can do short of a new re-install with 02/02, which is my next step?

Thanks for any help!
