IPKG without external disk?

[Macleesh]

Hi, newbie question, can't find an answer in any existing threads so here goes.

Just got a WL500G and loaded it up with Firmware v1.9.2.7 CR6b, no problems with that. I want to run one package only (ftpd-topfield) and hoped I wouldn't need an external disk to add the package system but when I give the command ipkg.sh install ipkg I get an error "cannot create directory '//opt/temp/': read only file system"
The commands may just be plain wrong (I know nothing about Linux yet) or is what I am trying just not possible?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

It sounds like what you really need is OpenWRT instead of Olegs firmware.

OpenWRT is not that easy if you dont know at least a bit unix / linux.

In actualy only thing that you need is write mount -t ramfs ramfs /opt/ first ... then you can continue with ipkg.sh install ipkg as you want ...
