Yes, here's part of the output of "up2date-nox --configure" 7. storageDir /var/spool/up2date 24. keepAfterInstall Yes and after an rpm shows 100% downloaded in its progress bar then it's stored in /var/spool/up2date as specified, but _during_ the download I can't find out where the file is stored. I've started to take up Paul Gear's suggestion of using strace, but I can't make head or tail of it so far. I can only assume that he's correct and that the file is held in memory as it's downloaded.
