i apologise for not mentioning that the 4.4-STABLE machine in question is
offline from the Internet; hence my desire to use CTM.

i want to get the deltas at work, burn them on to sneakernet media and
update the offline machine at home.  downloading *all* of the deltas looks
like a lot of work/bandwidth, and so i would like to know a point
corresponding to the 4.4-STABLE CDs from which i can download all subsequent
deltas.

thanks,
-vincent

PS do you care to elaborate on the 'headaches' CTM can potentially cause?
that sounds scary.  :)
