Application Install (first time)

[seekyrr]

Trying to install my first package

SL5500 with OZ, trying to install via the application manager irk-zaurus_0.11.0_arm.ipk into RAM.

Recomend I remove or rename the files it wants moved..or is there a way to force it to overwrite?

Thanks!

John

Ok, when you go to install you choose the package, then click on Apply Changes
(Green ->) Button, then you get a new window, where you choosed ram as destination and saw the output (it you didnt used ipkg in console to install) there is an options button near the start button. Click on this options button and choose --force-overwrite

If you use ipkg, then just take --force-overwrite as option.

Have fun,
Sam

Thanks..worked like a charm

You recomend that force option for every package install?


Thanks

Not in the first instance.

It just looks like you had already installed the package (or you had a partial install which had copied the majority of the files). This isn't the way it goes all the time don't worry.
