    Ever tried that over a 56k dial up?  That's why I would
    rather 
    ( if possible ) use the 4.2 ISO disc.

you still wouldn't have all the latest updates if you used 4.2 ISO...

you would actually consume a lot more bandwidth (longer time to download) getting the ISO than just the necessary updates.
