-10401 means "Bad Package". You get that because the Newton
disconnected before the full package was sent. It seems that there
were too many errors during the transfer of the package. If you use a
serial connection, then you may have an incompatible cable, or your
computer is simply too fast. It would help to upgrade to Ethernet or
WLAN.

No, just put the icons in other subcategories. There is no need to see
all available packages at once.
