Install XP SP1 and all fixes up to SP2?

[Mark]

I just reinstalled a Windows XP Home Edition system and want to install
Windows XP SP1 and all fixes and updates up to Windows XP SP2, but do
not want to install Windows XP SP2 as of yet. When I went to the
Windows Update web site, I see the version 5 of the Windows Update and
not version 4.

How can I install Windows XP SP1 and all updates up to XP SP2?

What about the multitude of security updates, etc. after SP1 up to SP2?

Service pack 2 includes all of the fixes in service pack 1 and all that were
released after it. The only thing you need is SP2; is there any reason you
do not with to install it?

Why? Incompatible software and updates.

XP SP1 and all fixes ran stable for me.

This is why I asked about installing Windows XP SP1 and all updates
after it up to SP2. If its not possible to download SP1 and all fixes
after it up to SP2, then I will not update at all. Automatic Updates is
disabled right now and it will remain that way along with its services.

Lots of updates. I hope all those articles lead to actual downloads and
not to the Windows Update web site.
