Yes. I ask $3, cash or check. When I get the money, I send the CDs. I don't want to put my mailing address here, so I ask people to email "updates_at_grystmill.com". > One of those CDs was the SecCD 2004, and another was likely the previously > offered updates, is this correct? The one is a copy of the SecUp CD 2004, the other contains all updates subsequent to that CD's release. IOW, it covers everything you'd do to a fresh install to bring it up to date. > So what was the other CD [you mentioned three before didn't you]? None other. 2 CDs only. I *did* produce a Time Zones updater that I host on my website. I don't distribute that via CD. > Did you create some form of autoupdate installer for those updates, > included on the updates CD? No. The SecUp 2004 CD is self-contained and auto-installed, but the subsequent Updates are simply organized by OS (98, 98SE or ME), type of Update, and order of installation, with detailed Readmes included to suggest procedures. > Would you be willing to offer your site as a repository for other > languages/updates or are you [or others] aware of sites which already > offer > those non-English versions? No, I will not host any stored Updates. I distribute them via CD now so that the costs are covered. I don't feel like paying for online storage and potentially high transfer costs. I think that in the case of Updates for other languages, it's a task for each of the communities that serve non-English users. I hope they prepared like I did. I'm sure they're out there somewhere, but it was a lot easier to get them via WU. By using WU to figure out which Updates to install and in what order, I avoided redundancies and needless installations of subsequently superceded patches. Of course, it also excludes patches, etc., that weren't included at WU a year ago. Most of those were either superceded or they pertain to specific cases or scenarios and should only be installed if conditions demand (e.g., HotFixes.) If someone were to express a desire to host the Updates on a website, I'd be willing to talk. Best method would be a pair of ISOs, but if someone were to have unlimited space, it could get a lot more customizable according to users' needs, with copies of various Updates organized in various manners, the SecUp CD torn apart, etc. But providing the stuff I have is about as far as I want to go on any such project.

You can only access the old Windows Update Catalog from Windows 98 or ME. 2000, XP, and 2003 use the new Microsoft Update Catalog. WindowsUpdate will still feed an unpatched win-98 system with updates.

(Still, some day, I really should try a fresh install, or as close as I can get to one on this Compaq.) But I don't know what the catalog offers for foreign languages.
