[MiKTeX] New question on saving steps if later download required...

[Brian L. <ff...@nc...>]

New question, so a new post to keep things workable.

I haven't yet jumped on the high-speed connection bandwagon, so it would 
be useful to able to save some hassle if I should have to reinstall 
somewhere down the road.

I downloaded the small package, so I have all those cab files socked 
away in one directory. I'm noticing that all the other downloaded cab 
files are ending up in /texmf/source/ (or subs under that). Once I have 
everything down and in place that I want, could I just sock that 
directory away on a cd someplace and upgrade from it if I had to 
reinstall things later?? Would certainly save on the downloading time if 
that could work. Thoughts?
