Entware basics

[Voxel]

next do i(to install what it downloaded): /opt/bin/opkg install Entware-3x-Vox el/Packages.gz or is this just a list of packages that the router will let me install from your entware downloads site?

You have downloaded list of packages. Now just install the concrete package you need. E.g.

/opt/bin/opkg install fdisk

(to install fdisk)

and advice to do not use full PATH to opkg:

NOTE 2: Info for Entware users. /etc/profile default profile is changed (no PATH for Entware is set by default, i.e. /opt/bin:/opr/sbin). Set the PATH for Entware in /root/.profile file, something like:

export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
