Dear all

I am in the process of patching at the moment. I use patchdiag to list what
patches I have and should update, my /var has been setup with enough room as
per INFODOC ID:18509, I save backout information incase I need to remove a
patch and I patch from /tmp using 7_Recommended. I now find my self asking
is this the "best practice"? Should I be investigating what patches can be
removed and how do I identify these? Is there a tool like patchdiag that
will list form me what take be removed without affecting my system?
