And after I installed it and tried running "ipkg update" I get an error involving --passive-ftp:
"ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 1: `wget --passive-ftp -q -P /opt/ipkg-NIKtxs http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...table/Packages'

When following the instructions in the first post on a Kindle 4 (Non Touch), I got the passive-ftp error using the busybox wget in the k4nt main partition.
The busybox built-in commands are intrinsics. The search path is not followed. To execute an external command you must include a path (like ./wget to run an optware wget). Unfortunately, ipgk does not supply this so the wget built into the parent busybox is used instead.
After much experimentation, I mounted the diags partition in /mnt/mmc and ran bash from its busybox, to get rid of the wget problem. That busybox has more commands, and its wget does not get the passive-ftp error when called by ipkg.
Do not make changes in the mounted diags partition. It would probably be a much better idea to download and run a bash shell that does not contain wget, and put the optware wget folder at the beginning of the search path.
Here is the optware bash shell:

Extract data.tar.gz from the .ipk file, then extract data.tar.gz into a bash folder.
