Installing *.qpk

I downloaded some .qpk files from the 3rd party repository onto an XP
machine. These I then transferred to my QNX 6.2.1 machine via sneakernet,
but cl-installer and qnxinstall neither will load them from the floppy.
qnxinstall lists the *.qpr files that are on the floppy, but the others
never show up. I tried renaming the qpk to qpr, but predictably, that
didn’t work. Any thoughts on how to install a standalone package?

PS- if this message appears more than once, I apologize…having problems
with this Micro$not newsreader…:slight_smile:

You also want download corresponding .qpm files. Check manifests for dependicies.

Sure. .qpr (qnx package repository) is gzipped couple of .qpm (qnx package manifest) and .qpk (qnx
package)

Any thoughts on how to install a standalone package?

Use non-Micro$not newsreader then :slight_smile:
