It's in /Library/Logs/

Nope. it's only a listing of what was installed w/Software Update and
doesn't include what you manually install. You can always annotate it. Drag
it into TextEdit and follow the formatting; it's basically a text file.

That's normal. During an update, the installed files aren't actually
replaced, they're stored in a temporary folder,  because doing so would
hose the system. Then, during restart, the system replaces them. That's why
the lengthy first-time restart times. While beta-testing this build, the
average first-time restart was about 2 minutes on my G4, 450 MP, 1.5 GB
RAM. Subsequent restarts were under 45 seconds.
