Hi Roger,

Thanks for your reply.  


> > I have seen them in /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt

I tried to find rpm files in the following
locations: /var/lib/Yast2, /var/lib/zypp, and /var/lib/zmd: none seem to
have any rpms.  The command I used was find.  The
directory /var/lib/Yast2 does exist, but it only has two subdirectories:
imported, and backup_boot_sectors.  No directory called you exists
within Yast2.

Here is what I did:
1. Go to Yast2->Online Updates
2. Made sure that the "Keep" was checked in the "Patch" menu and the
"Package" menu.  However, that seems to be related with keeping an
installed package.  I cannot find any other option to do so.  I am still
looking around.

I would love to use your script if you could share it after my update
rpms are found and kept).

I had a similar script for Fedora Core5, so I might be able to figure
that out hopefully :).

Thanks for your help.  I hope to hear from you soon,
