Not stupid. It can be faster since the GUI will time out on big uploads/pkg
files. At least it did with my, (and many others who have posted), RaQ2.

Here's what I used on my RaQ2. I'm not sure if it's the same for 3 and 4. I
found that the RaQ was faster at retrieving the original .pkg file since
both my server and the server it's on are on faster connections than I.

[root admin]# wget
http://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/packages/raq2/eng/RaQ2-en-Update-OS-3.0.pkg

and then

[root admin]# /usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade RaQ2-en-Update-OS-3.0.pkg
