Add repositories by installing repository packages
- The community-repository is installed by default in Om 2008.8.
Add repository manually
- Create a file, here we call it community-repos.conf
> echo "arch community-repos 50" > community-repos.conf > echo "src community-repos http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Multiverse/" >> community-repos.conf
- Connect to your Neo with USB
> sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 > scp community-repos.conf root@192.168.0.202:/etc/opkg/
- Let your Neo connect to the Internet
- For USB users:
> ssh root@192.168.0.202 > echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward > sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE > scp /etc/resolv.conf root@192.168.0.202:/etc/
- For geek users:
> ssh root@192.168.0.202 > iwlist eth0 scan Find a usable AP lets say OpenMind (Support it's an open AP) > iwconfig eth0 essid OpenMind > udhcpc eth0 Then pray, if successfull, remove default gw *twice*. > route -n # to see your gateway of eth0 say 192.168.1.1 > route del default > route del default > route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0 Then you can ping wiki.openmoko.org for testing :)
