Got a new Dell XPS Gen 4 late Dec 04 with a number of security updates
installed.

Since then I have added all necessary updates and now have a total of 50
froim 28 Dec 04 9 Nov 05, some 140 MB.s, reallly no big deal since I have
150+ MB unused..

I'm sure that There have been cumulativae updates installed which covered
all earlier ones.but no record was kept of them.

Just wondered can any earlier security updates be safelly removed?

Thanks in advance

Ho Cary,
You'll have to 'scuse the typo.....that should have read 150 unused GB's
not MB's,
Pete
