The 10.20 bundles are contained in SD depots (the update format used
for HP-UX 10.x). In addition, these will be identified for Series 800
(s800_10.20) or Series 700 (s700_10.20).
• You should first identify the bundle which is appropriate to your
system(s).

kept in the /SD_CDROM/READMES directory. Before installing from a
Patch Bundle, you can print the appropriate Readme file for that
bundle, using the lp -oraw command.
• Use the install procedure given in this chapter “Updating HP-UX
Software” to install the patch bundle,
• Use swinstall or swcluster, as appropriate.
