[QUOTE="NeilP, post: 826405, member: 72984"] Question is all in the title really. Where does 'Software Update' store the downloaded packages? I would like to be able to copy them and retain them as stand alone installers. Yes I know you can go to the Apple site and download them from there, but that requires looking through them and comparing to software you have installed on your machine and working out which you need. Software Update does that for you and downloads the patch packages, but I cant find where it hides them before instalation. Anyone know? It is not the 'Downloads' folder so must be in a system folder somewhere [/QUOTE]
