Managing File Dependencies from the OZ Poodle Feed - Howto? Options

[catachresis]

Sorry, I debated putting this in the Newbie thread.

I'm deleting the Sharp Rom from my 5600 and installing 3.3.6pre1. What I want to do is install a basic, full-featured system that allows for document authoring and PIM with KO/PI. I understand that this will entail installing OPIE, all the files for which are available in the Experimental Poodle Feed:

http://www.openzaurus.org/official/experim...4.18-gcc3/ipks/

I'm not yet familiar with basic linux procedures, but I'm learning. I understand that I will need to use the developer tools to reconfigure the Sharp apps from the install disk for OZ. The question is, before that, to get the OZ system/OS installed with OPIE, how do I pick from the IPKs available in the Feed to ensure that the system is fully installed? How will I be informed of file dependencies and missing IPKs during the install process?

I've looked at "Upgrading Opie on OpenZaurus 3.2" and I wonder whether effecient use of the Feed will require prior successful configuration of the Zaurus for internet sharing on my Win pc?

Thanks for your help and suggestions.
