Problem: I downloaded qpe-terminal_1.5.0-2_arm.ipk with my macos x 10.4.1 box. copied qpe-terminal_1.5.0-2_arm.ipk to SD card and Package installer can't see it on the SD card.

Hi
Before you junk your SD card, try these out.
1) Sometimes after download, Package installer will not see a package. I suspect it is looking in cache not physically at the card.
Do a soft re-boot from the system menu and try again and often it works properly.
2) If there is anything at all wrong with the package, it often does not appear. I have had this problem before and found that the file I had downloaded was not the same size as the original. I downloaded via ftp instead of http and got the correct sized package which showed up and installed perfectly.
If you cant use ftp, delete the cache on your browser and try downloading from another site, then check the file size
3) I dont know if you have a Files tab on the 5500, that would give a sanity check and show the ipk was there, whatever Package Installer says. As you are trying to install a terminal, not much point in my suggesting you go to it and do
ls /mnt/card !
It is very unlikely to be your card, especially if you have anything else on it you can access
