# 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 MU4 software to the `showrev -p` output from installing the Solaris 8 4/01 operating environment, you will note that the following patches are not applied in the MU4 installation:

> - Solaris 8 MU4 SPARC Platform Edition:

>   - 110597-02

>   - 110600-02

>   - 110712-03

>   - 110423-01

>   - 110418-01

> - Solaris 8 MU4 Intel Platform Edition:

>   - 110598-02

>   - 110601-02

>   - 110713-03

>   - 110424-01

>   - 110419-01

> These patches are needed to generate the Solaris 8 4/01 operating environment, but are not needed to apply the Solaris 8 MU4 patches.
