I would like to try applying the update again, now that I have already downloaded
it.  However, when I boot the old drive, I do not get a working ethernet interface,
and can NOT use the web/gui.  So I can't specify the local URL!

What is the .pkg equivalent of rpm --install?  I could
not find any pkg commands poking around the Qube3 or using google.  I will try to
figure out from the PHP scripts if no one responds.

One drive, no raid.  Probably the lowest cost model at the time.


Thanks for assistance and advice.
