I am new to Solaris, have just got a Ultra 10. How do I get the upgrade
patches for Solaris 8. I was told the system was sitting around for a year.

Recommended publicly available patch clusters are here:

What is the output of 'cat /etc/system'?

I re-posted immediately, but the article seems to be suffering from the
slows.

You will probably want to install Maintenance Update 7 on that machine. It
has a large number of patches not available in the Recommended clusters
and brings the system to the 2/02 release level.

To get MU7, log in as an unprivileged user, configure the mail client so
that it will send mail and then register the system with Sun. You can
then go to http://access1.sun.com/EReg/cgi-bin/register.cgi and select a
user name and password.

Once you have a user name and password to to
http://access1.sun.com/solarissolve, log in and select Product Downloads.
