And using the CD as you point out works very well (for me it always
has). I typically do this when I want to do a quick update; I tell it to
use the CD only so it doesn't spend hours downloading everything that
I've already downloaded via the CD. Afterwards I then go out and get the
updates that have been made since the .iso was released.
