2000 Pro SP4

[Rick]

I am going to install Y2K Pro again on my computer. Is there a way to
download Service Pack 4 ahead of time and install it when I reinstall Y2K
Pro? I'm on a dial-up and it takes forever to download such a big file. Any
Ideas?
Thank You,
Rick M

or many magazines feature service packs on their cover disks (at least
in the UK they do anyway)

A couple options:

Download the full SP4 package in advance (overnight)? Save the file for
future use and/or reloads.

Download just the installer (about 500K?). Then install SP4 after loading
the basic OS. Since a lot of the SP is for the server versions only, total
download time will be less, but you'll have to wait.
