Time Considerations

The Solaris 8 MU1 installation procedure is faster than the installation of the individual MU1 patches. The Solaris 8 MU1 installation time varies depending on:

• CPU speed of your machine

• install_mu option you select

• Transfer speed of the CD-ROM drive, hard drive, or network you use to access the install_mu code and patch set

If you install the MU1 with the backout option disabled, installation will proceed more quickly. However, you will not be able to back out any of the patches MU1 delivers.
