[edit] 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.

[edit] 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

[edit] 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

[edit] Removing a package

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

ipkg remove unzip
