Carrie, to run the update for my raq1/raq2 it was a matter of having a
system and cdreader that will boot the system.  Next up, the proper NIC.  To
make the the connection sweet, use a 100mb hub/switch or a direct connection
cable. I fought my update forever with all the right stuff, except the
100mbs connection.  Once the 100mbs connection was there, it worked great.

I hope this helps.
