You mean Service Pack, not Packs. There has only been one released
SP, SP1.
SP2 is in Beta and not yet released, except in trial form. Installing
it on your everyday use machine is tatamount to suicide for that box.

In that case download the updates as that's what is on the disks.

You can download SP1a from here:

You can download the Updates via the Windows Update page. Click on 'Windows

My point is still valid. Nobody in their right mind installs BETA
software (especially when it contains updates to the OS itself) on a
production machine. It just isn't sane.

Re: XP SP2 RC1 works fine as my main op system.
IMO, luck has little to do with it.
I did a clean install of XP Pro, then installed RC1, then installed one app
and tested it, installed next app, etc.
I will repeat these steps with RC2.
And, I am willing to reformat it, and go back to SP1 if RCx proves to be a
problem (without complaining).
production machine. It just isn't sane.
To some extent I agree with you, on the other hand, I need to know the SP
before a client installs it. The only way to do this is to use a beta/RC as
a main op system before the final release.
My point is (1) if you are willing to take the risk of it being a disaster,
then go for it (and do not complain if it explodes), and (2) using it is not
necessarily a disaster. Your comment suggests that it absolutely stupid to
use it as a main op system, I'm saying not necessarily.
PS: my main computer multi-boots between 9 op systems, so even though XP SP2
RC1 has been my main op system, if I had problems (I have not) then I could
just reboot and continue to work in another op system.
PSS: one of the advantages of using a beta extensively is you do not have to
rely on (or even read) today's (mktg driven?) reviews.
There was some "confusion" re: outbound control via ICF2. Using the betas,
removed that confusion.
There is some concern that SP2 will introduce program incompatibilities.
When a user posts, as I have, stating that RC1 has been very stable with the
following programs in a production environment, that should make some
readers feel better about using the final release.

OK, how do I install Sp1 and all Critical Updates and put them on a cd? I cannot right click and hit "Save Target As.."
PS. Who cares if Sp2 works on people's PC's or not? It will when it is formally released, maybe not in beta.

The people who have to debate whether the service pack sucks or not. I don't care, I just want to find out how I can download the updates outside of the wizard they give so that I can burn them to a cd or put them on my other partition when I have to fdisk (if I ever would need to.)
