Get it online as soon as the install is finished, and sudo update-manager 
and let it sort out the gigabytes worth of security updates it will need.

It will probably take 6 or 7 sessions of the downloading in order to sort 
it all, and may take a reboot here and there too in order to get the 
patched kernels into memory & running.

10.04.4 LTS is on life support, but I am amazingly still getting security 
updates about 3x a week!
