Prerequisites

To complete this guide, the following is assumed:

You are running Oleg's firmware (1.9.2.7-6b or later)
You have harddisk partitions up and running with an extended filesystem mounted to /opt
You have installed the Ipkg package system.
You have configured your partitions to automount.

Updating the Package Feed

It is important that you have the most up to date list of packages on your WL-HDD when you wish to use the ipkg system. Lets update them:

/opt/bin/ipkg update

You can view the list of available packages here: feed list

Installing a package

In this particular case, I will install the package "unzip" which obviously, allows you to unzip zip files on your WL-HDD.

ipkg install unzip

Removing a package

Should I decide that I no longer want "unzip", I can remove it with this command:

ipkg remove unzip
