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 Anyway, this adds another complication: Your update disc is out-of-date rather rapidly.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. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
