Hi Thanks for the info, seems messy, Not too clear this would work as SUNWsibi is different in 1/06 and 6/06 so if I applied the KU to both these and then reapplied SUNWsibi from the KU itself, I'm unclear as to what would occur, assuming the SUNWsibi in the patch was from 6/06 would this affect 1/06?. Thanks for the update on miniroot construction. Enda
