Impact
With each release of the HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environment (OE) media, HP updates
this bundle with required patches for new hardware.
Compatibility
If you choose to load only the December 2005 version of this patch bundle, without doing
a complete update to the December 2005 version of HP-UX 11i v2, you must first load
the September 2004 version of HP-UX 11i v2.
