It seemed to make sense to install them in the order they were released. I had no problems in installing them in that manner. I did not need to install the mfg updates; the shell patches were contained in the OS update, as were several previous patches. I have installed 12 patches thus far. I have not installed the Kernel tools, but may later if I decide to do mysql (depending on how the FP 2K issue is resolved). I have not installed the experimental pop-before-smtp yet, but may depending on the requirements of one of my users. The security patches would seem most important to install. Mike.
