Re: [cobalt-developers] Installing updates via telnet

[Jonas Pasche <jonas@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jody,

Malcolm already told you how to install these packages. I want to answer 
your other question: No, PKGs are not RPMs. They are .tar.gz's that mainly 
include a packing list, an install script, an uninstall script and some 
RPMs, patches or whatever.

You can easily create PKGs for yourself, this it documented here:

Bye, Jonas
