    The SO7 CD comes with the patches for Solaris 8 and 9, IIRC.
    I keep my systems up to date in any case (which does work
    quite well, I must say, as long as you can do the patching
    outside working hours); the last time I remember having to
    apply patches for an application was when I installed Forte 6.1
    on system with the Solaris 8 FCS. My last installation of
    SO7 was on a fresh install of Solaris 9 4/03, and I don't
    remember having to do any patching (but I was pretty busy
    at that time and it could well be that I didn't make any
    notes - it's one of the things I tend to forget).

    Take care,
