I have a question on FC4. Is possible to download the updates of FC4 on a pc with windows or slackware and install on another pc with FC4 ?
thanks

Yes, it is.
Download the update packages and separate them into two directories, one containing kernel* packages and one containing the other packages.
The non-kernel packages can all be updated easily by running "rpm -Fvh *.rpm" in the directory containing those packages.
The kernel packages should be installed rather than updated (rpm "-ivh"), and the packages to install will depend on you system, whether you want to build kernel modules yourself etc.
