Windows Xp updates

[Paul]

I always check for updates for XP Pro and download them
religiously, which takes forever as I'm still using a
standard modem. I am in the throws of building my new
p.c however and don't want to have to install Windows XP
Pro on my new hard drive then SP1 disc then then have to
wait a trillion hours while I download all the updates
again - is there any way that I can save the updates that
I have downloaded to CD/DVD and move them from the
defuncy machine to my new one?

Cheers
