Patches ...

[Bob]

I've recently installed Windows 2000 Professional and the
Windows update facility on Microsoft's Web site indicates
that I need to install 40 MB of upgrade and security
patches.

On a dial-up connection, this could take forever. Is it
possible to get a CD with these patches?

Thanks!

Bob,

Take a look at the site below. This will not prevent you from having to download some updates but it should prevent you
from having to download all of them.

Thanks, Bill. I just ordered the security CD off the site.
