Hi,
What I've decided to do is to make an install of Mac OS X 10.whatever, install all the updates (and going through all the tedium that involves), and maybe a few applications, such as iWork/iLife, VLC, etc. Then I image it with Disk Utility while booted up from another OS (usually the installer disk).
And I just recently learned to erase the initial user stuff and reinstate the out of box experience routine, which makes this method very streamlined I think (write the image to a disk of my choosing, and it's like a fresh from the factory setup with all the updates and stuff, right down to the OOBE).
It's too bad Apple stopped operating the Software Update servers for these old OS's. Frankly, I was surprised that they were still supplying updates for OS 9 after all these years!
It's inevitable that they'll do this also with Mac OS X 10.4.x, 10.5.x, and 10.6.x, eventually.
Such is life...
