[NTLK] Patch Confirmation? Blow-by-blow

[Berthe M. Willumsen]

I did. I have two US mp2100. The first I did in 
August using a clarifying mail from Eckhart - see 
link below.

The second (a backup) I did just now:

Downloaded Patch 71J059 via SourceForge 
http://40hz.org/Pages/Patch%2071J059  and 
unzipped it. Contains 3 packages
	Patch.pkg
	Y2010 Diagnostic.pkg
	717260 Install Override.pkg - the 
original 717260 patch, modified to install over 
any existing
	patch, not used except for troubleshooting

I did no freezing of packages - have very few....

I transferred Y2010 Diagnostic.pkg
	Tapped it - this time (see link below) no 
problems opening it , tapped 'clear alarms' 
waited, closed.

I did no backup since this Newt is supposed to be 
the backup and I'll resore it from a backup of 
the other mp later.

I transferred 717260 Install Override.pkg, after 
the transfer, the Newt asked some things and 
restarted - I saw no difference and maybe this 
was not necessary but apparently did not hurt.

I transferred Patch.pkg. After transfer again the 
Newton informed me a restart was ncessary and 
that it would do so after 6 (was it 5?) seconds.

- Memory now reads (71J059)-1.

- and thanks again, Eckhart

Hope this helps
Berthe
