How can I download all the updates for a particular type of Windows? I want
to download them on a safe pc and apply them via sneakernet BEFORE I put
another pc on the network. Right now, I am interested in Windows Server 2003
Std & XPP. Thanks

Hi

The Windows Update Catalog is an option:

THANKS! That is exactly what I am looking for! (I didn't notice that
capability the last time I was in the MUC.)
