Any Need To Keep The .ipk Files?
« on: May 13, 2005, 01:16:33 am »
I'm running out of file space on my Z and trying to clean-up the memory.

Once I've got an IPKG package installed and running to my satisfaction, is there any need to keep the downloaded .ipk file (other than as insurance in the event of needing to reinstall), or can I clean out my Install_Files directory?

You can safely remove the ipk files like you say you will only need them if you need to re-install that application.
