Optware Pkg installation

http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Packages

Once this is installed, you can use the “ipkg” command to install, upgrade, or de-install optware packages, while the “opkg” command would be used for the SlugOS feeds. Since “ipkg” uses /opt/bin/update-alternatives and “opkg” uses /usr/bin/update-alternatives, it’s a good idea to setup PATH to have /opt/bin at the front for the shell session you want to use “ipkg”.

ipkg install ntpclient tar vim zip git asterisk
