First you need to go to
http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n10655 and get the 717260
system update which comes as a self extracting archive, which means that you
double click it and select to which hard disk it will extract (if you have
only one hard disk it will automatically go there)
Next you run the 717260 to 710031 updater search and find the system update
you just extracted and hit "patch"
When you'll look in the folder on your hard drive afterwards you'll see both
packages and you than you can finally ;-) double click the package and load
it into your Newton.
