[PLUG] /var/spool/up2date (re-submitted)

[Cory]

James,

I don't see any reason why you can't remove them. I think they are just
cached files. 

On this page:
http://linuxrefresher.com/installation/update.htm

it says:

"If you wish to archive the rpm files for these updates, you can copy
them to archive media from /var/spool/up2date."

I'm fairly certain that the .hdr files are just the RPM headers and then
the .rpm's are the actual update files. 

Someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

-Cory
