How to repopulate "Installed Updates"?

[TinFish]

Hi, noob here. I have a MacBook with OS X 10.5 and I was looking at some of the updates I had installed and wanted to delete some that were irrelevant and that I shouldn't have installed in the first place. Somehow I deleted everything in the "Installed Updates" list, I know they are still on the computer because when I check for updates nothing new shows up. Is there any way to repopulate this list with the updates I have installed and is there anyway to remove the ones that I downloaded too hastily or should I just carry on since it is not a major issue?

Of course I did not have Time Machine up and running yet.

Thanks for your help.

its just a log file situated in /Library/Logs. if you have a backup you can restore it using Time Machine or manually.

Since that is the case, just carry on. It is not essential but can be handy for troubleshooting- and it is not something you can repopulate from your memory!

Spend that time getting your backup running instead.

You don't have your system log files memorized?

I believe the problem is that I deleted the logs
I know, I know, I wasn't thinking, it was early in the morning (yeah, that's my excuse)
If it isn't a big issue I will just keep on computing, if anyone else knows of anything I can do I would appreciate it. (I have some minor OCD)

Thanks for your help guys/gals.
