I know that this is probably not the right mailing list, but for those of you still dealing with XP, 2000, et al who need to do an installation but don't want to make the box vulnerable by attaching to the net to get updates, take a look at this site: http://www.autopatcher.com/ You can download the entire set of MS updates, burn to a CD and install everything prior to connecting to the net the first time. Added benefit, in most cases, you don't have to reboot the box interminable numbers of times to get the updates installed, simply run, check off the updates you want and click install, sit back for about 40-60 minutes while it runs and then reboot once. If you HAVE to run XP, 2000 etc., there is absolutly no reason to torture yourself by doing it the hard way. -- Bryan Phinney
