sorry for the newbie questions here, but I did a forum search and could not find the answers I was looking.
ok so here is my problem, Im not able to install ipkg at all. I am using the dd-wrt latest beta now, but I have also tried the v23sp2 with the same results. every time I try in the ssh I get an error that says "file not found" for whiterussian and two other dir's.
how can I fix this, so I can install ipkg files? I found a file called ipkg.conf but I dont know how to open and edit it. Im thinking that might help me. haha :p
also since I am an admitted linux newbie, after I get the ipkg files installed, how do I run the one I installed?
thank you very much to anyone that can help out with these simple questions.
From my experiences (starting summer 2007), ipkg is FUBAR.
That doesn't mean you can't figure out a way to extract files from the packages and then transfer them to your router. It just means ipkg was almost always unsuccessful.
There is a second problem that files from packages do not always work with dd-wrt. Our kernel is changing and these changes are not announced - so it is difficult to know which openwrt packages are compatible with which versions of dd-wrt. _________________ We all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.
