Normally I would say that you should add all that are not there.  This 
would be with not adding any that are not needed due to an update that 
obsoleted them.  On Dec 4th Jason posted what patches he had on his new 
machine.  He has a patch RaQ4-All-Mfg Release 1.0.1-11246.  This patch is 
not listed anywhere.  Do you have it?  What is included in it seems to be 
unknown.  Without someone telling us what is in it, I am not sure anyone 
other that a Cobalt/Sun employee can answer anymore.  Some one else 
answered Jason only add patches newer than his newest.  This would take a 
little work as the numbers are not always in order and there are different 
types with their own numbering ( all vs security).

Sorry for the poor answer, but do you have the Mfg patch?  Does anyone know 
what the Mfg patch does?
