if i want to update how do l look at the latest update from this level.
what is 17b

wos_17b
Check patch readme file for kernel patch level.
b stands for Batch in my memory, so 17b means Batch 17.
"wos_17b" is "wad of stuff 17b"

A wad of stuff is an entire solaris distribution made up of all of the different "stuff" eg. admin, install, desktop etc... which are each developed as "consolidations" [or "gates"] when collected together they form the "wad" or complete distribution.
