Self-support I'm pretty sure means searching the knowledgebase or
using the support forums. With it out of general support, you can
forget about getting patches--including security fixes.
The best solution is to upgrade to either SLES9 or SLES10.

Extended support isn't offered for SLES 8, so it would infer patches for SLES 8 are no longer available. Does anyone have info to clear this up?
