Failed to install ipkg
I got the following error when I try to install ipkg.
Code:
[admin@(none) /opt]$ ipkg.sh install ipkg

Done.
I have followed the instruction to create /opt/tmp/ipkg. Currently, I don't create a swap partition. Is it a must? Could someone help? I am a beginner to Linux.

Do you have proper filesystems on that HDD ?

I think so because the log shows it and I can access the data in the drive.
Code:
Jan 1 08:00:04 kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Jan 1 08:00:04 kernel: Vendor: ST340015 Model: A Rev: 0811
Jan 1 08:00:04 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Jan 1 08:00:04 kernel: Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Jan 1 08:00:04 kernel: SCSI device sda: 78165360 512-byte hdwr sectors (40021 MB)
I think the reason it cannot create the directory is because the directory is just a link. And, the link is actually not valid.
Code:
[admin@(none) /]$ ls -l ./opt/bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 9 Jan 1 1970 ./opt/bin -> /apps/bin
But, I don't know how to change it and what should I change.
