Saving SP2 Updates

[eskimo]

Hi all

Have just loaded SP2 after a reinstall, works fine, have downloaded the latest security patches and updates, is there anyway to save all the updates to CD for future use, as my Mother only has a 56k modem and it would take forever to download the patches and updates for sp2?


Cheers, eskimo

It's a little late now, but updates can be downloaded from here:

You can order a free cd from Microsoft with sp2 and other updates on it im not sure how current it is with the lastest critical updates but it would save alot of time on sp2 being a rather large file to download on 56k.

Hi There

I think the latest SP2 Disk from Microsoft still leaves about 21mg to download, I have an SP2 disk and only want to save the extra patches and updates to disk to disk.

How about downloading SP2 itself. Would this one be alright to download and burn to CD?

or do I have to use the update feature if I do a fresh install?

Thanks.

That's fine, Charles - and you can slipstream that into your existing XP CD and burn a new one to make it even easier on a reinstall. Otherwise, you can just do an install, then run the SP2 network install off your CD.
