I have a computer at my cottage that I have upgraded to win xp sp2 and would
like to get all of the updates for it.
I can only get a 28.8k connection on my modem and it would take days to
download all the updates, is there a way to download on my home computer
(broad band access) all of the updates at one time and save them to a
cd/dvd which I could use to update the second computer?
Thanks Mike

This might help. It's a time consuming process.

You can download them from the Catalog and save to be installed later.
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp

Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what you want, Click the "Go To
Download Basket" link. Type in or browse to the location where you want the updates saved to and
then Click the "Download Now" button.
Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.
