There is a minor issue that /var/spool/up2date/ simply grows and grows with every new available update, even when existing *rpm or *hdr are superseded. I guess there is a *info file somewhere that a user could wget which would describe the necessary subset of /var/spool/up2date. 1. Can anybody tell me where to find this file, please? 2. Can somebody with control over this issue be invited to so contrive things that the current *info is downloaded to /var/spool/up2date/ every time any new updates become available? Just for ease, that's all. Fergus
