Hi, I wanted to install the "Update: RPM 1.0.1" from the Cobalt site.

I used wget to load the package in the "packages" directory and when I tried to install it I got a message about the package not having the ".pkg" extension.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance.

On the Install Software screen, you may still have the URL: radio button selected.

Make sure you click on the radio button Loaded:

I should not be working when I am supposed to be sleeping :)

Over the months I installed every package I could install without any problems and when I go to install the last one I fail :)

Well, obviously I hadn't checked the correct radio button!

Thanks a lot.
