Can anyone tell me where the source packages are saved to on a SuSE system when you do a YaST Online Update? I forgot to check the automatically delete source packages after completing the update process, and now I would like to manually delete the packages. But I don't know where they where downloaded to on my system so I can't delete them. Any help appreciated. Regards, Bryce

IIRC they are somewhere under /usr/src/packages. I haven't used SuSE in a while so I can't be precise ;) Another way would be to 'locate .srpm' in a shell, although I'm not sure if SuSE automatically updates the locate database so you may have to run 'updatedb' first. Or, if you are using KDE (I guess GNOME will have a similar function) go to the 'find files' program from the main KDE menu and search for *.srpm

Try the "du" (disk use) command. It is also useful for finding large files and directories.
