    Hi,

    YOU periodically asks me to update my 9.3 system, but among the
    offerings are dozens of foreign language updates to Open Office that I
    can't use and haven't installed. There are also updates to Nvidia
    drivers (I have anATI card), and some other such stuff. I've been
    completely unsuccessful in making these offerings go away, so each time
    I get an update, I have to look through dozens of these garbage (for me)
    lists to find the two or three items I need.

    Is there really no way to make them disappear short of installing the
    software, then allowing the updates?

    John Perry
