final summary:
I have them all. Thanks to several people who figured out that the four
listed patches don't exist. I rechecked and these were in fact typos. When
you have 154 patches to list, one is entitled to make a few mistakes. Yes I
do have a sunsolve contract, so I could get the old patches from Sun, but I
wanted to put a summary online that points to an ftp site for those that do
not have a Sunsolve contract.
ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de
is a wonderful site. They archive old patches, and they are available via
anonymous ftp. Every patch that I still needed I found there. When one
knows what patches are needed, this is even easier than sunsolve cds.
