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.
