Updating a NEW install of windows 98SE

[superflymx6]

I was told that after I install window 98se that I need to update everything using microsoft update and save them to a cd using another computer. I went to microsoft update and did a search for windows 98se updates and found this page:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/corporate.asp

Do i need to save all of those to a cd and install them that way?

Or connecting to internet now would be bad, right since it is a fresh install of 98se and it had a lot of problems. But as soon as I connect I would do the up dates.

whats the easiest way to go about updating all of this??



thanks

i know this is a simply question but I want to do this right since its a fresh install just a few minutes ago. I need the computer for school.

I know I can logon to the internet and update that way but is it safe?

hook it up behind a hardware firewall, then install the updates from the web. Also, you could load up your antivirus software first and then manually update the antivirus offline.

I have a router so that will be ok, right.

That is what I use. Get that and add Kerio firewall, AVG, and choice of Mozilla or Firefox to a CD. Install before you get on the internet. Change later to your own choices.
