i've found this line in the script.
you either should change /etc to soomething you want or start it with the $IPKG_CONF_DIR-param....
if [ -z "$IPKG_CONF_DIR" ]; then
IPKG_CONF_DIR=/etc
fi
the ipkg.conf on my wl500g is like that:
---------------------------
src wl500g
http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ipkg
dest root /
---------------------------
it's looking like it's made for the wl500g only.
but i think you can use this source too because, because it should run on the very same processor-architecture...
maybe one change has to be made:
my harddrive is mounted on /opt/ .. and so the binaries are installed to /opt/bin....
maybe you can either change the dest-location or you can create a 2nd mount point for your harddrive...
greetings...
