Installing a package manager - IPKG

I found a awesome article about install a package manager in a NAS at http://www.openstora.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_a_package_manager. The good news is: the CPU of this NAS is binary compatible with G-Connect, both are ARMv5.  So basically to have a packaging system on G-Connect it's necessary "create" a new /opt inside hard drive and set some new paths to the future installed packages. The linux installed in G-Connect comes without anything installed inside /opt so "move" this directory to a new path doesn't change anything important.  let's start!


G-Connect Wireless Storage Device still selling and still worth it...

Sometimes I like to search old good promotions and check if the price are falling or going up. If the bought that I did still worth it nowadays. So that's it. G-Connect in my opinion still worth. 49 bucks still a bargain.
