Install To Which? Sd? Ram Or Root

RAM doesn't apply for you as the 5600 does not come with a RAM-disk, root is the flash memory built into your Z.

You can also use 'cf' for cf cards and 'sd' for sd cards.

Thanks again

There is
root /
home /home
and
SD /media/card

I tried to use home and SD.
some packages (eg stunnel) needs to be installed twice as it cant find the appropriate links at 1st go.
Run ipkg-link and install again ... so far so good!

Grateful to all ur help!
