["Schachter, Abe" <ans@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestion Brian - I'm in the midst of downloading all the
files in the directory right now.

Much obliged,
Abe

I have an unused Cobalt RaQ 4i that is sitting unopened in its original
packaging for which a need has just been identified.  Now I'm faced with the
task of applying two years worth of patches which is bound to be a laborious
and time consuming task.  Does anybody know if a .pkg exists that contains
all of the updates and patches that have been released to date and which can
be applied to bring the box up to current specifications or is this wishful
thinking?

What you can do is this ... takes about 10-20 minutes? or so.


VIA THE SHELL & LOGGED ON AS ROOT!!!!!

wget http://path-to-file-as-seen-on-site/filename.pkg

Download them all ... that takes the most time.  Then install them all

/usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade filename.pkg

REMEMBER!!!  Start at the bottom of the list, and work your way UP.  It
should NOT take that long.  You DO NOT have to worry about rebooting until
you updated EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

Check out:

for FREE Packages and updates.  (Webmail, MYSQL, security updates & misc
non vendor patches).

Thanks,
Brian
