I sell and or upgrade the odd computer. After installing XP with SP2
(oem cd) I then connect to the net, validate the installation, and
then install all the windows updates from the microsoft update site.
I have a cable connection but it is still quite time consuming. Worse
if I do an on site call and the people only have dialup connection I
am loathe to even try downloading updates due to all the hassle and
time it take. How do I put all these updates onto a cdrom and then
use that to do updates.

Any help much appreciated.

I'd like very much to be able to get them on a CD too. I just did one
yesterday that had 37 critical updates to SP2. However, I just went to
the catalog site (your URL) and it listed 47 available updates. But most
of them were bi-lingual stuff and a whole slew of .net framework updates,
but I didn't see ANY of the 37 critical updates that I had gotten
yesterday through the Windows Update site. Those are the ones I'd like to
download and get on a CD. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right place.
