[NTLK] dongle-less pkg install...

There are two other methods for installing software on a 2x00 without a
dongle that I haven't seen mentioned in the recent discussions. If you
can buy, borrow, or steal a 120/130, you can 1) copy packages to the
120 with an ordinary serial cable, and then beam them to the 2x00, or
2) put a memory card in the 120, copy packages to the 120 being sure
they go on the card, then pull the card and put it in the 2x00. This
latter method is particularly useful for copy-protected packages like
NS BASIC, which don't allow you to beam them from one Newt to another.
