# Identifying the Version of Your Solaris 8 Maintenance Update

To identify the version of your Solaris 8 MU software, type:

    # cat /etc/release

To identify the patches the MU software applied to your system, type:

     # showrev -p

> Note - If you compare the `showrev -p` output from applying the Solaris 8 MU1 software to the `showrev -p` output from installing the Solaris 8 6/00 operating environment, you will note that the following patches are not applied in the MU1 installation:

> - Solaris 8 MU1 SPARC Platform Edition:

>   - 108631-06

>   - 109316-01

> - Solaris 8 MU1 Intel Platform Edition:

>   - 108632-06

> These patches are needed to generate the Solaris 8 6/00 operating environment, but are not needed to apply the Solaris 8 MU1 patches.
