It keeps a record of which updates it has made and yes, in the location you mention, there are .pkg file that seem to correspond to the updates I have made. But the file sizes of these are relatively small like "MacOSXUpdate10.4.4Patch.pkg" at 2.4MB whereas the corresponding update was actually said to be 28MB or so.
These are lists of the files that were changed. and the files themseleves indicate what updates have been applied to the system. This is what Disk Utility consults when it does permissions repair, and why you always have to do permissions repair from the booted system, not the CD.
If you remove them OS X will think that it hasn't been updated. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig who says 'Ni!' -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
