Search Path

Adding /opt/bin to search PATH will save us from tedious typing of /opt/bin for each command from /opt/bin. For running applications from /opt tree search path should be expanded with

~# export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH 

Installing Samba 2

/opt/bin/ipkg-opt update 
/opt/bin/ipkg-opt remove samba
/opt/bin/ipkg-opt install samba2
/opt/bin/ipkg-opt install xinetd

Startup script for external hard disk

/opt/bin/ipkg-opt install e2fsprogs
