UPdates Question

A friend has a dial-up line and has never checked for updates.

He got hit with the worm and I was able to help him get rid of it.\

I did an update scan and the result is that so many updates exist that it
seems an unmanagable task to install them all via download on a dial-up
line.

Question:
I have a DSL line. Can I somehow download the patches he needs and put
them on a CD-ROM for him to install from?

Thanks,
Alex
 
Nick, did you read the question???? The blaster problem is resolved...I'm
talking about all updates that my friend may require.
