Note that some Solaris upgrades in Sun's version (EBS) are supplied as Sun 
Patches, and should be applied on top of the old install they're designed for 
(after the software is shutdown of course).  This is for going up in SP numbers 
only, i.e. 7.4.1 to 7.4.4.

I'm of two minds regarding that, as the patch is designed to fix any install, 
including Servers.  So I have to lug around a 300-500 meg zip file to upgrade a 
~50 meg client tarball.  At times I've given up on this and just downloaded a 
current client from Powerlink (which is compatible, but the package names are 
different).
