how to update only installed packages?
Unless I am mistaken, it seems that daily updates are suggested for download through package manager for programs that are not installed. Is this correct? It is a long list of packages to read through to uncheck the ones that appear not to be installed. Not to mention the soaking up of hardisk space. This occurs until a newer release is available. How do I have it weed-out the list to update only installed packages with the package manager? Did I miss a setting somewhere?
Ok, I guess my question was not specific enough. I see the Gnome Fedora 17 package updater is gnome-packagekit (GPK). I accept that "yum update" only updates installed packages, but (GPK) as I read it uses "yum, apt, conary, etc". Does GPK push other non-dependant or non-installed packages? Will I get anything different if I turn off auto-updates on GPK and use yum update periodically?
