install ipkg on DSM 5.0

updated on 2014-08-10: ignore & don’t use ipkg.
it’s gone after upgrade and packages too old.
I used Debian-Chroot from custom package provider instead

DSM: Package Centre > Settings > Package Sources

Name: SynoCommunity
Location:  https://synocommunity.com/packages 

————————————–

I am using HP N36L (AMD CPU), here just a record of my installation process.

First things first, readings: http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Overview_on_modifying_the_Synology_Server,_bootstrap,_ipkg_etc#How_to_install_ipkg

download bootstrap scripts for installation: http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-i686/cross/unstable/syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2-7_i686.xsh

since I use USB as boot disk, my temp directory is on volume2 instead.

Reboot DSM, @optware link created, path was set, to check:

relogin ssh afterwards.
