My Original Question:

Hi,

I cannot find anything on this on any docs.

What is the correct procedure of applying a revised patch?
Should I delete the original patch first or just install over it?

So far I installed over the previous revision and did not meet with
problems. But recently I heard that I should delete the previous
revised patch first.

Anyone knows the correct procedure?

The answer:

Thanks to Ester Muller, Michael Salehi, Matthew Atkinson and

You do not need to remove the old patch. Just install the new
patch over it. Only when disk space is a problem is it suggested
to remove the old patch. Some patches are even inbuilt in the OS and
are impossible to remove.

Thanks,
Duncan
