Thats pretty much my thoughts too.

I did want to put  reminder up on the main group, just so that if peopel have email alerts off, that they can still get to that.

I'll go ahead and post one...

IPKG is definitely a topic that belongs on this group because it may eventually initiate a lot of discussions that would confuse the daylights out of 90% of the people in the regular group.  IPKG installations are a two-edge sword.  For example, they make it so easy to install new applications that a monkey can do it, but they could create interactions so complicated that no one but a genius could fix it.

 

Karl did a smart thing when he created JRUN to basically duplicate the root directory on the hard drive.  That, combined with the hard reset to remove the reference to startup.sh, should be able to get most people out of trouble if they install something that renders the MV inoperable.  But I'd prefer not to be addressing questions about JRUN and IPKG on the main group.  

 

Another issue with IPKG and JRUN is that Karl got busy and doesn't seem to have the time to support it so I think that in this group, people who are likely to have better technical skills can help each other, rather than having nubes discuss it on the general forum.  

 

We can always put a reminder on the main forum to let people know that IPKG is working now if people want to do some experimenting.

I think that because there aren't nearly as many people here, as there are in Lee's group, not very many people have seen this.
