Help I am in SP4- Hell

[Guest]

My questions is this. I downloaded the service pack, then copied it onto a cd-rom... took it to my stand alone compute
running w2k... it began to install.. but stoped because it is looking for a network connection to the internet. There is not one with this computer. It gives me an error and tells me to go to microsofts web page and look for something called "problems installing service packs?" well i never found it... but i found this newsgroup

so the questions is... How does one install the service pack without being connected to the internet

Help...

Download the 'network' SP4 - it's about 129 MB.

here's the link:

Click on 'The Network Installation' on the right side of
the screen.
