What Patches do I need?
Hi All,
This is a question I've had for a long time, now that SGI.com online archives are gone, and I'm looking to reload some systems, what patches do I need or use? Are they like Windows updates where they are smart enough to know if they apply to your system or not and you just try to install all the patches you can?

Looking at archive: http://usftp.irixnet.org/sgi-irix/patches/

It's all very cryptic, I know the two patches for Tezro L1 and PROM firmware for 4x1Ghz because of the posts here...but what about all the other patches?

I have older systems on 6.5.22m and I have the media for 6.5.30f and will likely bring all newer systems that can install it up to date (from 6.5.19f).

The site README claims some kernel roll-ups are trash, but doesn't give the patches to avoid, so I just need either a tailored list of patches to install or a list of "bad patches" to avoid.

Thanks!
