that's rather ... long-winded, three far easier ways spring to mind: 1) alien -t midori...deb produces a tar.gz from the deb 2) ar x midori...deb splits the deb in it's three parts, use the data.tar.gz 3 try opkg install midori...deb ipk and deb are somewhat similar -- it might just work (at least the metadata package information is stored on a different place, so i won't really recommend doing that unless you know your system! i mention it for completeness' sake). _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
