The Sausalito format PKG (used for Qube 3, XTR, and the 550) is an 
encrypted tarball... you have to use gpg --decrypt first, then tar 
zxvf file.tar.gz.

Check the Sausalito Developers Guide at 
ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/developer/TechNotes/SSDK.pdf

There's not an easy way to "convert" a RaQ 4 PKG to a 550 PKG; the 
wrapper scripts are different, and the PKG contains different info 
for prerequisites, etc.
