I need to know how to download software updates e.g. SP-1
to a CD on a PC with a broadband connection in order to
update the OS on a PC with only a dialup connection.
 
Locate your updates and take the "network install" version. Simply download
and burn to CD. The CD can then be opened in the second PC and just double
click the icon to install. Start with SP1 then the "rollup". That will take
care of *most* of the critical updates. The others can be installed in any
order.

SP1

Rollup

You can find the rest with a search, or use Wupdates on the second machine.
Run updates anyway to make sure you have everything.

HTH, JAX
