[cobalt-users] issues with installing a .pkg on my Raq1/Raq2

[SteelHead <brk@xxxxxxxx>]

I give up.  I surrender.  I grovel.

I have searched the archives on several occasions.  I have cruised the
Cobalt site.  I have cuised the web all to no avail.  Either my problem is
unique (unlikely) undocumented (unlikely) or I am a lousy searcher (slightly
possible).

I am trying to install pkg files on my Raq1/Raq2 device acontinually have
problems.  The files all come back as bad pkg file unless I dl to update to
my office box (linux mandrake) and access the control panel from there with
the browser.

I have tried saving the files locally on the Cobalt, and installing from
there by pointing to it while in several directories (ie:
/tmp/RaQ2-Update-OS-2.0.pkg).  I have tried putting the files in a local ftp
directory ftp1.xxx.xxx.net/ftp.  I have tried putting in the address
directly (ie: ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/packages/raq2/eng/xxx.pkg).  All I
get is bad package errors.

I have been able to install the pkg's a rpms, but they will not show in the
control panel as installed.  I am at a total loss here.

Please advise me on this.
