I have not posted the instructions for increasing the
size of the loop file because I don't want to encourage
new users to do that. It is much better for them to put
BL3 on its own HD partition (using install-to-hd).

Yes. On the receiving machine (where you want to
install the package), do the following:
-------
cd /
receive
-------

On the sending machine, do the following:
-------------------------------
cat package.tgz | nc address 33
-------------------------------
package.tgz = the package you want to install
address = the address (or name) of receiving machine

For example to install smbclien.tgz on lois:
-----------------------------
cat smbclien.tgz | nc lois 33
-----------------------------

Cheers,
Steven
