Where is the update (obtained auto thru the updater?) if you ever
need it later to rebuild the OS from the original Tiger disk?
It's downloaded as needed. You can avoid this by either telling
Software Update to go away and not update things, then manually
getting the updates from Apple's support site, and running them when
convenient for you. As I'm on a dial-up at home, this is generally
how I keep my systems there up-to-date.
You can also tell Software Update to save the downloaded updates, I
forget where it puts them, perhaps the Library/Receipts folder.
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
Things are becoming clearer by the minute! Never thought to look at
the top line of menu items! I almost always - and probably over
optimistically - think the menu items are just redundant to
possibiliites inherent in the panels (this is actually the case so
often that one can become complacent).
I notice a lot of .pkgs in my Library (as suggested by BJ) but I
certainly did not tick menu item 1. I can now you have mentioned it!
I might try 3 next time.

is not! It is just unlikely to occur to anyone who does not know...)
