Someone from Cobalt please explain a dumb fool like myself why Special
Characters should be installed FIRST and you put it in the LAST place in
order of installing (
"Downloads should be applied from the bottom of the page to the top, as

in improper order will likely result in problems with the Sun Cobalt
product. ")
