I have DL a bunch of the latest updates for OS X for my backup beige G3, as it was getting late I decided that I would "unpack' them this morning, the thing is where do I look for them?.
Using finder all I can see is receipts for the applications which it tells me that although they look like packages to be opened they are only receipts wallbash.gif where do I find the elusive downloads?

Hi George,

Good question for Netscape 7.  I couldn't find an option in preferences for download location.  Usually, it asks where do you want to save it when the download is done.  I'd guess to open the download manager and see if it gives a hint.

Safari, open preferences, go to general preferences, there will be an option for save downloaded file, which will give the location where all downloaded files will go to.

In Internet Explorer, go to preferences>recieving files>download options>download folder.  That will tell you where IE is storing your downloaded files.

Each browser handles their downloads just a little differently.  What browser are you using?

No wonder I could not find where they were to be found, for some unknown reason the applications were, as well as being downloaded also installed! Oh wonderous Mac.
Nevertheless Al  thanx.gif

The hollering wouldn't be ((Dishes Need Cleaning!)) could it? smile.gif

Hi Bill, have done as you and Al have suggested....................wish I had come upon Macs in the Springtime of my life rather than my dotage.......things would be easier to comprehend.

 I'm told that happens more often as you get older.
