    If you want to install patches into the existing Solaris 8 10/00 image
    so you don't have to install them on each client after jumpstart,
    that's not possible (unfortunately).

    If you want to replace Solaris 8 10/00 with a newer Solaris release,
    this shouldn't be a problem. Just setup_install_server with the
    new release into a new directory, run rm_install_client and
    add_install_client from the new OS image, and remove the old
    Solaris 8 10/00 directory. The jumpstart configuration is usually
    saved outside the OS image copy, so you shouldn't lose anything.
