The updating processes are almost equal to all fixes available. You basically need to stop the CF services (and related ones such as Crystal - if it's running), replace or/and add files to the CF_root folder structure, add some tweak JVM arguments (inside the CFAdministrator) and restart the service. It's easy to do in a single step for stand-alone installs both in Windows and Linux boxes if you have a single fix "repository".
Till we don't have a updater and a better updating process (which is expected for Blackstone) I suggest you to make the same. Take a look in this very simple guide I've wrote: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cfgigolo.com%2Funsorted%2Freadme_pacotao.txt&langpair=pt%7Cen&hl=pt-BR&ie=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools (translations are very hard to do, but you can have the big picture)
I second that the coldfusionupdater.macromedia.com! ;-) Will be very good and I believe is not that hard to build.
