Hi

I have a bunch of various IRIX-related CDs and I'm deciding which to keep.

Among them are a rather big stack of CDs labled "Required/Recommended Patches" and "Fix on Fail patches" for IRIX 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4. Then there is a stack of "Freeware" CDs.

What I wonder if these CDs are cumulative like the 6.5.X overlays. In that case I could just keep a copy or two of the latest CDs in each stack.

Thanks,
Pontus.

These CDs are slowly becoming collectable, so it might be worthwhile holding onto these ... or seeing if others would like to grab any spare copies you have... just a thought to consider in any case...

I've sorted out the dupes and extras and they are on their way to another forum-member.

(For the record, they are cumulative)
