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).
