Folks - There were a number of replies with several pointing me to the MU (Maintenance Update) something that I didn't know existed (had never needed it before and didn't have a sunsolve login). I got a hold of that and updated the system with that. It took less time than I had expected, but went very well. Other responses said that the OS update was also a safe method, but most suggested the MU. Also, several suggested that I do it via Live Upgrade (but since it's a development system, I was able to get a reasonable maintenance window after they all went home last evening). Thanks for all of the help, but a few of my library still differ (which will be my next note).
