Using Windows update won't save updates in a useable form later. Go here to download
them for standalone/IT admin install purposes:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/downloads/win2k.mspx
so you don't have to use Windows update. They can be slipstreamed into a new install
CD if you know how to do it. Instructions are all over the net, but it does take
time and can be a pain (so most of us do the process below).
You can also do what most of us do, and that is to image a clean install with all
of the current updates and whatever software we want, into a new drive image (stored
either on a CD/DVD or better yet, another HDD) when you do have to reinstall.
Top hat for W2K? Not that I have seen as there are still security updates being
applied, but would be interested to know about if it has been done by someone. W2K
isn't open source software, but a roll-up package was done by someone a while ago
for Win 9X, just not sanctioned by MS and you use it at your own risk...
