I noticed over time that as I applied updates to the rhas packages, my / volume kept losing free space. Rhas apparently puts the new copies in /var/spool/packages and never removes the old ones? Is there a way I can tell up2date to remove the packages it replaces with newer versions. This is a small system I can't ln to another volume, I only have one disk to play with. Similarly for em10g, I hope the patching function deletes obsolete patches, that it doesn't just store them all on the em10g host. Patrice. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
