does up2date REALLY update ?


sorry if this is basic stuff, but I come from the old school of
manually finding RPMs and installing them (and TGZ too ;-).
I started using up2date under FC4, but did not yet understand if it
proposes to me updates to ALREADY INSTALLED stuff, or available updates
to anything in FC4. I ask because it seems that I'm proposed with
choices of packages I discarded in the initial setting up of the
system.

Any info is appreciated...
