    IPKG without mounting on /opt

    Hello,

    Is it possible to install IPKG without changing the mount option to /opt, so IPKG is installed on /tmp/harddisk ?

    Something like this:
    Code:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/harddisk/opt.image bs=1024 count=200000
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/harddisk/swap.image bs=1024 count=500000
    mke2fs -j /tmp/harddisk/opt.image
    mkswap /tmp/harddisk/swap.image
    swapon /tmp/harddisk/swap.image
    mount -o loop /tmp/harddisk/opt.image /opt

    I don't know if it's possible, but if I install IPKG on /opt then my stupid FTPD server doesn't work and my SAMBA Server doesn't work then too!

    Why do all tutorials tell me exsually that I have to install IPKG on /opt?

    because we don't use stupid-ftp
    you can use vsftp instead

    So if I reset the router, configure the web interface and I follow the IPKG, SAMBA and the VSFTP tutorial from MacSat it will work?
