RHupdates/ and /updates.img are used to patch the installer at run time. 
I've never explored how to use them, but I note that with an http 
install SL5 looks for these:
/ScientificLinux/5.0/i386/os/images/updates.img
/ScientificLinux/5.0/i386/os/disc1/images/updates.img

I expect ftp to do likewise, and if you're using CD/DVD then updates.img 
is supposedly a floppy (but an alternative is probably required for 
machines lacking floppies).
