DNS-323 unable to find packages
I'm a newbie so bear with me. I installed fonz's fun plug 0.5 and was able to get lighttpd and cleanboot to install, but everything I try to wget then funpkg -i after that comes back with "Fatal: <pkg> not found". I was trying to install Transmission but nothing works now. What is wrong?

Re: DNS-323 unable to find packages
Which directory did you download the files to? When you want to install a certain package you can specify a folder if you like. The installation tool needs to find the package in order to be able to install it.
Example:
I download the package "johnwayne.tgz" to "/ffp/packages". To install it I run "funpkg -i /ffp/packages/johnwayne.tgz".
I could also do "cd /ffp/packages" and then "funpkg -i johnwayne.tgz".
You need to give more precise information (what exactly did you do) in order to get more precise answers. ;-)

Re: DNS-323 unable to find packages
I was following the instructions from the transmission webpage IE from the main prompt:
# wget Transmission-1.22-ffp0.5.tgz
# wget curl-7.18.1.tgz
# funpkg -i Transmission-1.22-ffp0.5.tgz
# /ffp/start/transmission.sh start
I was unable to do step 3. If a folder needed to be specified I was not aware of that. I can look to see if something is there, but when I installed lighttpg and cleanboot they installed without issues.

Re: DNS-323 unable to find packages
So I guess the question I need to ask, is where does wget download to as a default, and why did it allow me to install from the main prompt with my first two packages and then never did it again? Once again bear with me as I am new.

Re: DNS-323 unable to find packages
I copied the links in my browser and pasted them into the PuTTY terminal. The packages were listed as successfully downloaded and even stated that they were already "there" if i tried to wget them again. But I don't know where "there" is.

Re: DNS-323 unable to find packages
wget downloads to the current directory you are in, if you didn't specify a source directory. Do a "ls" without the quotes to get the current files in the directory. Check if it is there.

Re: DNS-323 unable to find packages
Does wget alter the filename in any way? I'm at a loss as to how I could download to that directory and then be unable to install from there if it didn't change the name. And unfortunately I'm doing this at work so I don't have access to the DNS-323 now to do "ls".

Re: DNS-323 unable to find packages
Nope, wget doesn't alter the file name. And yes, something does seem weird from the way you describe it. The best way I see, is to confirm that the file is in the directory first before running the funpkg command.
