Hi,
I would like to reload the entire system from scratch but do not want to have to re-download all the patches I have already downloaded.
I think the OP is after something slightly different, a re-install + apply changes made to original but NOT to move the current location.

actually, I think what OP wants is to define an update source that utilizes the already downloaded patches/updates that have been applied to the existing system. He figures that the downloaded updates are stored *somewhere* on the drive, and would like to use THOSE as the update repo, so that he does not have to download them all again, after he re-installs. I have no idea whether it is possible, or how to do it ... and I'm interested to learn along with him the answer.
