Security Updates on Computers with slow dialup and no access.

[Guest]

We have 6 offices with computers that we just upgraded to XP Pro and will be
getting them online soon. I want to update them with all the security
updates and patches before we let them go on their own with dialup. Is there
a way to get all the Windows Updates without having to have each one use
dialup to run Windows Update? Where can we get the patches and updates that
I can burn to CD to run on them before they go online?

Additional information...
We are running a management program that will not run with XP SP2 installed
so we need to only install updates and patches up to but not including SP2.
The management software vendor said it may be about 6 months before they will
have a version out that will run under SP2.

Hi

You can download the individual updates from the Windows Update Catalog:
