RE: [cobalt-users] openshop

["Kevin" <owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is an OpenShop 1.1 Now. I have had it running for 2 months as a demo.
There is still a problem with not being able to enter a City / State field
for Ordering.
I was told this will be updated in the next release.

The Openshop 1.0  .pkg file is 6.83mb in size (as I had it)........so if you
downloaded it to your desktop, then are trying to "upload" and "install" it
from the Cobalt GUI.....good luck, especially if you are a remote
administrator without hefty bandwidth push!

Might I suggest you telnet to your server and use the "wget" command to
transfer it directly from openshop ftp to your server.

If you are unfamiliar with the wget command, simply type:
wget ftp://ftp.thelocation.here/the/filename.pkg
and it will transfer the file directly from their ftp to your server.
(fast and efficient, this comes in handy with all large .pkg installs)

The only thing I can't remember.....and maybe you know, or someone else
might contribute......is how to install the .pkg file on the server itself!
