The first instruction of optware thread. I have installed ipkg to root, instead of an image file in user storage. It worked. Also installed some packages with ipkg for testing in terminal - so I have probably already installed irssi in /opt/bin (just logged to the ssh to check it). My question is: can I now use the standard internal directories instead of mounting an image file to /mnt/loc to do everything inside it? I'm not worried of filling up the root partition tbh. I think I know how to figure it out.

Edit: K, moved the home directory, configured irssi via ssh, edited the profile files and dang... 0upterm failed for term=linux.
