installing packages


Im currently installing packages from MCC. My question is; if a package that i choose has a previous version already installed, will the system uninstall the previous version and install the one i chose automaticly, or do i have to do it manually and then go find the new version and install it manually? my concern is that i dont want all of these packages takeing up disk space. Im new to mandrake and am still not sure where everything is.
Im useing Mandriva LE 2005.

When using MCC (or urpmi from a terminal) your packages will be updated, that is previous files will be removed.
