Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
 
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
For Solaris 7-9 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions
on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
       example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
 
NOTE 1:  To get the complete fix for "U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005" which
         will change daylight saving time transition dates of United States
         timezones, beginning in 2007, please also install the following patch:
 
         116545-02 (or greater) Timezone commands and zoneinfo
                                database update Patch
 
         Solaris supports two types of timezones:  POSIX timezones and zoneinfo
         timezones.  This patch incorporates the fix for "U.S. Energy Policy
         Act of 2005" for POSIX timezones, whereas Patch 116545-02 incorporates
         the fix for "U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005" for zoneinfo timezones.
         In Solaris, the default transition dates for POSIX timezones (when the
         transition date is not specified) use U.S. rules.
 
         Note this patch does not include the fix for DST changes in 2006 for
         Australia.  Those fixes are in aforementioned Patch 116545-02, where
         the zoneinfo timezones for Australia are fixed.
