Open the admin GUI and to to Maintanence
Then select Install Software at the top of the page
Depends on where the updates are as to the next step.
There are three choices.
First being you would put in a complete url to the package
The second to grab it off the machine you are working from
The third is if you have uploaded it to the Cobalt into the /home/packages 
directory

Then click on the little magic button, "Install a '.pkg' Package"
