The original poster mentioned CD, so that's what I went with.  The point
I was making that getting all the updates, is an awful lot of files.
It's less work to just get what you need.

Anyway, this adds another complication:  Your update disc is out-of-date
rather rapidly.  I'd only take this approach if you were going to update
a collection of non-networked computers, that you only bothered to
update fairly infrequently.
