With Software Update window open, the menu bar under "Update" provides three installation choices: 1) Download Only --downloads software update to Library->Package folder for later installation. 2) Install -- the default auto installation setting. The installer package is not retained. 3) Install and Keep Package -- Obvious. Be sure you only check the update(s) you want in the main Software Update window. Otherwise updates you don't want maybe be downloaded and/or installed. I prefer the Download Only method. --glen -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
