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.
Ah, right, the pieces are falling into place.... So that is what they
are. Now what Glen (and you maybe before) said about the menu options
is making sense more in relation to what I did... Must tick the right
option!
