Thanks for reply. Just got back from shops. I've downloaded 2 zip files from the last posted entry in your link above, one file ends with .ipk.zip and the other .deb.zip. Do I ftp both or one or the other. What will I have then? and is there more to do. I intend to put a fresh flash of openvix on a spare slot so I can concentrate on 27.5w that without affecting my other images. Will I need to edit the lamedb file after I have scanned in the 27.5w channels.? Hoping to gather enough confidence to go for it once I know to expect from each stage. Thanks.
p.s. In the past I have placed ipk files on a USB stick and loaded them from prompt after inserting the stick. Is this the same outcome as the method you described above?
