I have Windows XP and SP2 slipstreamed on a disk and it works great, but would like to have all my updates after that on a disk? I need to add July, Aug, Sept and so on (updates) on a disk so that I can just update from the cd? I was going to integrate them but seems to be a problem with Microsoft and the people who make AutoPatcher and AutoStreamer, so I will settle for just having the updates on a separate disk, do I just copy the individual updates to a disk and then will it update OK? This would be easier than connecting to INTERNET especially since I may not have dsl the next time I have to install windows.

From what I hear, Service Pack 3 contains all of those updates since Service Pack 2. If you want, you can wait till it's released, and then download it and burn it to CD. Microsoft says it will be released in January. Service Pack 3 is already available for download, but it's not an official release and may cause problems. I have it installed on the PC I'm using to type to you on right now, and it's been working great for the past 2 weeks that it's been installed. Jesus can change your life for the better!!

It might be that SP3 has all the updates (well most) from the original release. Some languages and special patchs are not usually included. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

Still available here. updates thru Aug 07. http://fileforum.betanews.com/detai...

If you're in a hurry get the standalone update package now from ms download center while you have dsl, 336.1 MB Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate a self-extracting executable that contains the update package. There will be updates to this version before the final, but I've been using every build and version so far with no problems.
