[Wickline, Bob (N-STERLING COMPUTERS CORPORATION)]

Unfortunately, patching does not update the release:

I was under the impression that installing the latest patches, was the same as installing the latest release.

Over the weekend I installed all the latest patches for my host and I still get the following release information.

# cat /etc/release
                        Solaris 10 5/09 s10x_u7wos_08 X86
           Copyright 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.
                        Use is subject to license terms.
                             Assembled 30 March 2009

I would like to upgrade to Solaris 10 10/09. How do I do this.

Robert
