Palm/3Com says you can't. Unlike the previous OS updates, which were .PRC
files which installed as patches on top of the existing OS, this is a
permanent flash ROM update. The software to support it is currently only
available for BorgOS and MacOS.
Your best bet is to find a Windows machine and do the upgrade from there.
You can download the "Palm Desktop" software for Windows from Palm Computing's
website. Pick the "Product Support" section. It is about 7 MB.
You could try running the Palm Desktop under WINE or VMware, but given the
critical nature of the flash ROM process, I wouldn't risk it.
