</I>>><i> It may be an option if you have such a DVD I was talking about in
</I>>><i> point 2 - somewhere at the start of the install process you can add an
</I>>><i> additional medium. If a newer package is on the update DVD (or USB key
</I>>><i> or external harddisk) the installer should take this instead of the
</I>>><i> package from the installer DVD) should work with an update DVD or USB
</I>>><i> key. It will not reduce the download but the overall system setup time
</I>>><i> (as you wrote).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Won't this end up with "Enter updates medium" -> "Enter main medium" ->
</I>><i> "Enter updates medium" -> and so on..
</I>
Your question reminded me of my old Schneider 8086, no harddisk, 2
floppy drives. Working with Word for DOS (18 program floppies, 7
driver floppies) meant: one drive was occupied with the OS floppy, the
other one was your "DJ turntable". Want to format a character as bold?
Insert floppy #8. Continue writing? Enter floppy #4. :)
Back to today: it depends on your machine and how you organize things.
If you have only one DVD drive, occupied by the installation DVD, you
want to put the updates on a USB key (or the other way around). Or use
2 USB keys. My experience of the last 2-3 years say that most people
are dumping optical media for installation ISOs more and more in favor
of USB media (keys, harddisks).
For my netbook (no optical drive) I have a selection of USB keys as
install media and a USb harddisk which I could use for the updates.
Sometimes the question how hard or how easy something is for you is
answered by your way to do it.
