There's no single patch with all Win98 updates in it, but there's a way
to get all the separate patches, including some "cumulative" patches that
combine several (but not all) separate patches into one larger download.

It's easy--- actually much easier than it used to be: Go to Windows
Update; select "Personalize" from "Other Options" in the left menu, and
activate the "Display the link to the Windows Catalog" option, if you
have not already done so. The Catalog will appear in the "See Also" menu
on the left. You can then use the Catalog to pull down whatever Updates
and Drivers you want. (It also gives you an easy way to see what you've
already downloaded.) Items you select go onto a "download basket" from
which you can retrieve and place them where ever you want--- on your hard
drive, on a CD or whatever--- for safekeeping and later use.
