Yes,
You, can use it on a single computer. Many administrators with more than one
Computer to update will just burn it to a CD and go from one to the other.
The Network download is so large because it is a so called "superset" of all
changes [SP1 included] made since the release of XP. Several things: If like
me you don't use the Messenger and removed it, you will get it back with
SP2.
You will have to go into Outlook Express Tools/Options and remove a check
mark in order to prevent loss of E-mail attachments. The XP Firewall will be
turned on by default so if you have and prefer another one, you will have to
go into Network Connections and turn off XP's version.
