Technically speaking, you could create a PKG file on a non-Cobalt machine. A PKG file is just 1 or more RPMs and some scripts tarred and gzipped and saved with a .pkg extension. You can get a sample PKG template from developer.cobalt.com or extract any existing PKG and start with it as a basis. But if you don't have root access to the specific RaQ model you plan to install the PKG on or the underlying RPM(s) and scripts you'll have very little idea whether the PKG will work or what it will do when it's actually installed. -- Steve Werby President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
