2) How To Save Your Win98 (And Other) Updates Offline
Dear Fred, awhile back you mentioned an accumulative update for
win 98 that could be downloaded and saved for later use. I
REALLY need this thing because I don't wanna switch just yet
and for my "gaming" system I may never want to switch... Could
you please tell me where to find this elusive combo patch?
Thanks ... and Fred, thanks for the great read !!!----Joe Fukuto
There's no single patch with all Win98 updates in it, but there's a way
to get all the separate patches, including some "cumulative" patches
that
combine several (but not all) separate patches into one larger
download.
It's easy--- actually much easier than it used to be: Go to Windows
Update; select "Personalize" from "Other Options" in the left menu, and
activate the "Display the link to the Windows Catalog" option, if you
have not already done so. The Catalog will appear in the "See Also"
menu
on the left. You can then use the Catalog to pull down whatever Updates
and Drivers you want. (It also gives you an easy way to see what you've
already downloaded.) Items you select go onto a "download basket" from
which you can retrieve and place them where ever you want--- on your
hard
drive, on a CD or whatever--- for safekeeping and later use
