Two reasons: 1. I want to go back to using "up2date-nox" as I'm trying to cut down the number of GUI based tools that I use because this box is _crawling_ along with RH8.0. I want to be able to monitor how much of the file has downloaded. When I configure up2date, there's a specific "StorageDir" which is /var/spool/up2date. I'd like to do a "ls -lh /var/spool/up2date". 2. Curiosity. I like to know where things are going and how they work. And at this stage I'm upset that "lsof -c up2date" doesn't reveal where the downloaded file is being stored. I find that deeply disturbing. Oisin Feeley
