# 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 MU3 software to the `showrev -p` output from installing the Solaris 8 1/01 operating environment, you will note that the following patches are not applied in the MU3 installation:

> - Solaris 8 MU3 SPARC Platform Edition:

>   - 110144-06

>   - 110146-01

>   - 110314-02

>   - 110418-01

> - Solaris 8 MU3 Intel Platform Edition:

>   - 110145-06

>   - 110147-02

>   - 110315-02

>   - 110419-01

> These patches are needed to generate the Solaris 8 1/01 operating environment, but are not needed to apply the Solaris 8 MU3 patches.
