Installing patches

I downloaded solaris's patchmanager program, analyzed my system and it spewed out a list of probably around 75 patches that needed to be installed. First off is it nessacary to install all of these? Should I install all of these in single user mode. Is the "smpatch update" command the best to use for this?

Thanks
Steve
