You can download the files and burn them to a CD. You'll
have to fish around MS for them.

Also TechNet just sent me a complete set of updates.

Having said that, it may be too late... When we get a new
computer the first thing we do is install the updates by
CD. The average time it takes to get infected if you don't
have the updates installed BEFORE you connect to the
outside world is about three minutes...

Beat,
Jerry
