optional updates

Is there a way to copy or download optional updates for future reinstallation.
The reason I ask is that I use a PC 5740 EVDO connection as my primary internet connection and if I do a clean install my card wont work until I install two optional updates.
Curitel Communications - Modem - Curitel PC Card and Curitel Communications - Ports - Curitel PC Card Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM)
From what I've read I'm assuming it's because even though its a PCMCIA card it actually is installed as a USB modem and needs a software bridge.
I may be totaly wrong so don't hold that against me.
I've gone to the Microsoft website and downloaded all the critical/important updates listed in the installed update and put them on a USB drive but would like to include optional updates to save myself the trouble of driving around the neighborhood looking for an unsecure wireless connection just to install those updates.
I hope that I dont have to reboot but you never know.
In one of my earlier posts I got a little out of line because of a comment made about the beta being given to just anyone. I want to set the record straight. I read these theads every day and to be honest most of them are above my head but I have learned more this site in the past month than the two years I've been trying to learn by myself so thanks.
I wish that there was another forum for non-IT users but I'm afraid the people that can really answer our questions wouldnt use it. Its a catch 22.
