The SP2 CD can be ordered -- it's free -- here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx

I did an online installation a few weeks ago. It's a 266 MB
download. The whole thing, download+installation, took less than an
hour (with a DSL connection). I spent most of the time watching TV.

FWIW, SP2 has been problem-free here.
