But....  how do I tweak the gui package manager to install ipks to /mnt/ide..or /media/fakeroot/usr... (or generally in the system stuff on the hd) in such a way as to be able to use them?

I haven't used the fakeroot thing before, and suspect that if I tinker around too freely I'll end up reflashing and right back in the same place

installs to / go to /media/fakeroot/usr, and are not recognzed as having been installed, nor do they run.

I could whip up some linking of my own, but I suspect there must be a sane method I'm missing here, given how well the rest of it works.  I'm disinclined to install to sd, as the point of using the microdrive was to keep my slots free.

The /etc/ipkg.conf /mnt/ide destination won't show in the drop menu in the gui package manager (even if it is placed 1st --default-- in the list)

z3100
5.3.3 tarball (full)
5.2 zgccsquashfs (the newer one seemed to be corrupt and wouldn't mount)
hd partitioned /mnt/ide (hda1, ext3) swap (hda2) /data (hda3, fat32)

I'm sure this will be a D'oh! moment, but in the meantime, I'm kinda stuck if I want to use the gui.

Did you manage to sort this problem out? I'm having the same one now, except that in Package Manager, my / says it only has about 1.5MB free, and if I try to install to it, it runs out of space. And yet there sits the hard drive with hdc1 having 1.6GB free and hdc3 having 1.3GB free.

Just add this line to /etc/ipkg.conf and it will then show up in package manager with all that space.

Code: [Select]

dest fakeroot /media/fakeroot

Thanks. I did a similar thing. I deleted all of the "dest" entries and change the root to "dest / /media/fakeroot".

Cheers.

I had just changed dest / to /media/fakeroot
