	Most of the kits I've seen out there are around #430 or so - that
	only leaves a dozen or so patches that need to be applied.

	By and large they are not only desirable but necessary/mandatory.  There
	are very few 'frivolous' ("gee, this looks like fun") patches in the
	batch.   Trying to "pick and choose" which parts of which patches to
	apply might be doable in the short term but there _will_ come the
	day when a bug is encountered or a feature desired that was fixed or
	added as one of the parts/patches that was left out.   Best to get
	the pain over _once_ and be done with it ;)

	Cheers,
	Steven Schultz

	Congratulations!

	Actually you only need to install the ones _after_ the one listed
	in /VERSION.    Look at the first line of /VERSION, it should look
	something like this:

		Current Patch Level: 444

	then all you need are the ones between your current version and 444
	(which is the latest).

	Be sure you have the complete system (all the sources, and include
	files, etc) installed and read/follow the directions (which are
	quite extensive) included with each patch.   SOME patches can be
	"batched" (if a couple patches in sequence are updating the kernel
	then you don't need to rebuild the kernel after each patch, etc).

	Good Luck!

  I kind of wish I had done something like this; instead I ended up taking
the SGI route of /usr/people.  Oh well.

  If somebody goes through this pain, any chance of making a new source kit?
Though I guess some of the patches are not necessarily desirable in all
circumstances...

Well, here are the results of my weekends "hacking":

The machine is an 11/83 with 2 megs of ram, DEQNA, single RD54, TSV05,

Now it looks like all I have left to do is install 400 odd patches.
