OK ill take a shot at this. since u want to put them on the card for a fellow lister they dont need to be activated on the card. when u get that error it just means that the newer installed pkg wont activate, basically leaving it frozen. so all u have to do is add them to the card, verify that they are on the card and then give the card to the user. they will activate when he puts them into his newton since he obviosly doesnt have them yet.

Hi all,
I am trying to put in a card the NIE pkgs and some ethernet dirvers for
a fellow newtonian, but I have got some problems...

When I try to install these packages I get the following errors:
========================================================
1. enetsup.pkg
“The package “NIE Ethernet Module” was not installed because a package
by the same name is already installed on the store “internal”

2. inetenbl.pkg
Dock
An error of unknown type has occurred

3.inetstup.pkg
An error occurred installing the package “internet setup”. It may not
work with this system. Contact the software publisher for further
instruction. (Part 0, Type form)
========================================================

I checked the faq and searched the List archives, but I still couldn’t
get through.

I connect to my PowerBook with a wireless card, so some of the packages
I am trying to put in the card are already installed in my Newton.
Therefore I tried to file the packages form my internal store to the
card and got an error about package protection...

After reading one of the post resulting from my research I installed
“EEunprotect”.

Now I can file the packages from my internal store to the card, but this
moves them instead of copying them.

A dumb question... how can they be “copied” to the card instead?

Selecting them I can only see the info, beam them, delete and file them
to card or another folder :-/

If I simply file the packages to the card, afterwards I won’t be able to
use anymore my wireless connection :-(

I also have a Performa and a Serial Cable with Dongle, but when I try to
connect NCU to the Newton I get an error about Printer port already in
use. This is strange because I made inactive all the extensions about
printers and left only the minimum setup to let 8.6 work and last time I
needed it (long time ago) it worked :-/

After my tries the only way seems to beam directly packages to the other
newton :-/

It seems like these packages don’t want to be copied :-)

Can you, please, give me some advices?
I am sorry if these questions are really stupid but I con’t find a
solution...
