Glenn: Package management moved to Ipkg over redirect: The article have mixed ipkg and opkg information. The article presumably started as ipkg-only - therefore the moving. Please move/copy opkg useful to article opkg.

 === Installing Packages on the Card ===
 When installing a package, use the -d option to have the package installed into the "card" destination:
-opkg install -d card python-core
