Thanks for the "option" tip, I didn't know that. (I was doing alias ipkg='ipkg -verbose_wget' in my ~/.profile instead).

What do the dest thingies do?

Here's mine, FWIW:

src unslung http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable         
dest root /
option verbose-wget

Also, the default ipkg.conf that comes with ipkg-opt:

#Uncomment the following line for native packages feed (if any)
#src/gz native http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/native/stable
src/gz optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable
dest /opt/ /
#option verbose-wget

dest = Destination. I can install packages in any folder I need.

anybody tried to upgrade to unstable already? how safe is it?
i've spotted a few newer versions...

http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...ross/unstable/

#Uncomment the following line for native packages feed (if any)
#src/gz oleg http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/unstable/
#src/gz native http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/native/stable
