Maintenance Update CD

Future updates to the Solaris operating environment might no longer include the Maintenance Update (MU) CD. The preferred mechanism for updating a Solaris release—for example, to update from the Solaris 8 6/00 operating environment to the Solaris 8 1/01 operating environment—is to use the "upgrade" mechanism (see Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide, SPARC Platform Edition, Chapter 3). The MU CD does not include all of what comprises a Solaris update, and takes longer to install than an upgrade.In cases where the MU method is still considered necessary, the MU image can be obtained from the web at:
