yes you can burn that to a CD and use it. that would be another good way if 
you can't easily connect to the net.  if you do connect to the net however 
you can get Windows to do the update and that way you only download the 
files you need which takes less time.  Any time you save though would of 
course be lost if you need to install USB drivers and set up a dial-up 
account just for a one off internet connection.
