Creating Software Update Packages in SMS 2003

Tags: 2003, package, update, creating, software
When creating software update packages in SMS 2003, is there a way to only add the updates from the previous patch Tuesday into a package? For example, our current package for updating Windows XP clients is up to over 900 megs now. We don't have a problem keeping this package to bring new Windows XP clients up to speed with patches, but for clients that already have those updates from the past, we would like to use a much smaller package with only the most recently released patches and push it out after patch Tuesday. There doesn't seem to be a way to tell the most recent updates when using the software updates wizard. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
