Hi all

I've been playing around today with IRC, and installed the server on one of my Linksys units easily with the help of Rusty's very straightforward guide.

However, whilst installing the package I noticed that IRC server is only one of quite a long list of available packages and that got me thinking. Is there a definitive list of available packages in the repository, and details on what resources are needed to support them (i.e. memory overhead, etc.)?

Many thanks in advance

Phil, No, there is no definitive list per se. The packages that are available were, I believe, pretty much what was available on the OpenWrt website when v7.09 was available. The source for everything kinda comes as a lump package. Many of those packages are really of not much utility or are too big for available flash memory, especially on the small memoried units (4-MB) in the WRT54G family. Still, have a look at the file "/usr/lib/ipkg/lists/packages" on your node after a refresh of the packages list. It has descriptions you might find interesting. -Rusty-

Cheers Rusty, got it. There is loads of info in the file and you're right, a lot of the available packages may not be of great use, but one or two may be interesting to look at once I get a bit further up this learning curve Laughing

For now though, IRC worked first time, just by following your published guidance.

Thanks again

Phil
