Eugene,

I had a bit of time today at work.  I went to windowsupdate.microsoft.com, 
product updates (iIrr), and chose the IE 5.5 SP2 option to d-load.
After a few clicks, there was an 'advanced' option which I hit.  It gave the 
option to d-load the package for installation later.
Got it for NT4, W2K, ME, and W98.  Was almost a 50 meg d-load.  :}
I did update 98 from it.   :}

I find this the case for many things now.  I-Net access has spoiled me.
