No. As far as the system is concerned, there's no such thing as a bundle. It's just someone running 'patchadd' a whole bunch of times. If the cluster was installed with the normal "install_cluster" script, then there's a log of the installation in /var/sadm/install_log/Solaris_8_Recommended_log. You could compare all the patches that it attempted to install with any patch clusters you may have. Or you could recreate the patch cluster by reassembling all the patches in the log. If multiple clusters have been applied, then the log is appended. Make sure you've got the right start and end points within it. You can use the timestamp on the log to give you a maximum date that the cluster was released, but I don't think there's any obvious "cluster date" within. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
