Clif,
Yes, you can. In v4 of Windows Update, click on Windows Update Catalog on
the left side of the window. In v5, click on Adminisrator Options at the
left. The Update Catalog allows you to select the updates, download them,
burn them to a CD, and install them to the same Windows version on any
computer. Ideal for people with multiple computers having the same version
of Windows OS.
