Don't know about the Mandrake Update, but the Helix-Gnome update store its rpms in the
/tmp/helix-update directory during download and install.
If you tar up all the rpms in the directory BEFORE you click the finish button, you
can bring all those files to another machine.
You'll still have to run the on-line install, but it will see the existing (un-tarred)
rpms and ask if you would like to use all existing files.
