RE: [FW1] 3065, 3072, and 3083 patches for FW1

You only need to install SP8 (3083), it contains all previous patches.  I go
this straight from checkpoint yesterday, I am rebiulding my firewall.
However, if your initial installation is 3.0a then you need to install 3.0b
before any of the service packs.

Hi Ken !

Thanks for your help but one last question : do you really need to install
patches 3065 then 3072 (in that order) before you install 3083 ? If you
don't know, how do you think I can get the answer ?
Thank you very much Ken.
Have a great day.
Sanni
