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

["John C. Bacon" <bacon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In this case I do know what to do!

The full steps for retrieving and installing an OS update using WGET is the
following:

wget http://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/packages/raq2/eng/RaQ2-Update-OS-2.0.pkg
then
/usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade RaQ2-Update-OS-2.0.pkg

Saludos!
