In other words does SP2 "roll up" all security patches
and other updates from XP's inception or only from SP1?

My grandson's computer has the orignal XP. It was never
hooked up to the internet. He enters 1st grade next week
and he'll pobably need internet access very soon. I
ordered the SP2 CD to avoid downloading hundreds of
megabytes and want to know if I should order the SP1 CD
as well. (Links to ordering an SP1 CD would also be
appreciated if necessary.)

1st grade, it boggles the mind. SP1 is included in SP2

But, if my PC will not powerdown with SP2 and it did with SP1 (SP2 seems
to fail to recognize that the mobo is ACPI compliant), will it pick up that
feature from SP1 and not have it overwritten by SP2? I'm thinking of trying
it to find out...a lot of work for a simple question.
