[cobalt-users] installing a .pkg file from the server itself

[Manik Surtani <manik@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I STILL don't know how to install a .pkg file from the server itself ... I
got the latest OS update, but it has been sitting on my server for a while, as
my connection has been bad and I have been unable to dload it to my desktop and
upload it again (do you know how RIDICULOUS this sounds?!?) to install it via
Cobalt's GUI!!

Help MUCH appreciated here ... ! :-)
