Hi Dave,

Ok, I missed the point of the question in my last response.

You are welcome to setup your own local shares on one machine and map to it 
from another.

You might want to extract the hotfixes and setup a little command script to 
run them all at once with the option not to restart "-z" in between each fix.

It might look something like this:

         \\machine\share\bios\hotfix.exe -z
         \\machine\share\csrss\hotfix.exe -z

I plan to add some pages in the next couple weeks with some general 
suggestions about service packs and hotfixes.  I will be sure to let these 
groups know.

Does this better answer your question?

Thanks,
Jonathan
