Hello Guru's The email from Tim Villa below and the link provided by Alan Bradley state more-or-less the same thing: Just delete the save files to free up the space. Alan's link is: http://www.ucf.ics.uci.edu/pipermail/unix-admin/2002-September/001079.html Tim's response and my original message below. I just manually rm the directory in /var/sadm/pkg/PACKAGE/save, that's never done me any harm :-) You'll want to find out all the packages a patch affects - you can get the patch install directory (just look up the SUNW* names really).
