Similar to the win98se problem of online update not working, I don't want to go anywhere near MS. This came about because the original athlon 2600 cpu on the shuttle died and is now replaced with a slower 2200 - and when I reinstalled xp microsoft has refused to allow it as it is a "new computer"! So 1. How do I tell the computer to stop counting and disable this when it didn't ever do it before (being an oem installed os) 2. I need to download bugfixes and so forth for service packs up to the present date. Again security fixes aren't so important 'cos I am disabling internet connectivity, thats only allowed via linux on the third boot option. So I need to download all the updates required seperately via linux, put them onto the xp partition or make up a cd/dvd. How do I do this? Where are such files stored if they exist? Not everyone can be doing web page based online updates!
