since I don't know what it downloaded - the list is of no
use to me. but your reply means tht windows XP installs
the updates when it finishes the downloads without asking
me first, or am I wrong? if I'm wrong there has to be a
place where the downloaded files are placed. If I'm not
wrong then how can windows update install stuff when it's
not running as root and how does it know what I want to
install (or download)?
