Where is the M$ win 2000 pro updates to save to folder or disk

I need to know the M$ site to download updates sp1, sp2, sp3 etc for Win 2000 pro,
so that I can burn to disk for a future installations,
or just save to a prepared folder and burn the updates later,
and how is it done exactly.
It's important to me cause I'm running a 56k modern and it takes forever to download this files each time I install my w2k pro

This what you are looking for?

Windows Downloadable Updates (Save to Disk)

I saved this to my favorites for easy access to the web site.

You can select where you want to download the file to. You do not have to install it. You can download it and save it to a disk. Look at the top of the "basket" screen and it gives you the option to choose where to download it.

Why would you want sp1, sp2, sp3, and sp4? All you need is sp4; the fixes in 1,2, and 3 are included in 4. Once you have downloaded sp4, you can make a slipstreamed install cd. When I do a build, I make an install cd with sp4, all drivers, patches, and any utility programs like speedfan. It saves time in that you do not have to keep changing cds.

thx crjdriver that's a great idea but how did you create a slipstreaming CD exactly, could you pace the process for me I like to make a w2k pro with sp4 and whatever else that is needed I now have sp 4 downloaded sp4 and saved to a folder in my documents (thx to fftaz336 link) and I'm ready to create a cd in the fashion that you've suggested
