Patch Installation Instructions: 

--------------------------------
For Solaris 8-9 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/106326-01
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
     example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.
 
For Solaris 10 releases, Sun Studio 11 installer explicitly does a -G install,  therefore the
patches must be installed or removed with -G, also.
 
     example# patchadd -G /var/spool/patch/106326-01
     example# patchrm -G 104945-02
