The RaQ550 pkg format is the same as the RaQXTR and Qube3 - but it uses
full sausilito like the Qube3 - there is full documentation on
developer.cobalt.com (you have to register but its free) for an example
pkg download the OSRCD from
http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/index.html look under new
downloads and then either burn it or browse it using winimage or such
(if on linux mount it as an iso) look in updates I think and you will
see a package there to pick away at.  I haven't looked to see what it
does I suspect it fixes something found on testing.
