Yes, it sounds fine for a single desktop with good bandwidth.
However, I support a number of boxes. Some have no internet connection
at all.
Since I get to run my upgrade script many times, it seems worth the
effort. I just go around with a CD-RW.
I also like being able to test upgrades in private before the end users
see them.<g>
But, if it was just the box on my desk, I wouldn't go to all that trouble.
Thanks,
