You could try out the Unofficial FC4.1 respin images. Those contain
all updates up until 14'th Sept. It would save you a lot of updating,
but there have been a few big (many MB) ones since too.

Those images are only suitable for a fresh install btw, not upgrade.
How to keep it updated later? Dunno, but at this point most of the
really bad bugs should be gone, and mostly internet-security fixes
are what I'd expect. I don't think you'd miss them unless you actually
hit a bug yourself.
