Hi Dave,

I have a 550 which only has the original Sub Cobalt software installed - no
3rd party stuff at all.  It's also up do date with all patches before this
one.  I'm about to install the above.

Seems to be a very big package (that, or the BlueLinQ is very slow today).
Five minutes just to initialise and verify the package before getting on
with the installation.

"The server appliance is now rebooting. It should be available again in a
few minutes."

[twiddles thumbs...]

Server is back up after a couple of minutes.  It all seemed to go fine, just
takes a while to get going.

Regards,


Dick
