CHAPTER 10. PACKAGING SYSTEM 10.4. SELECTING PACKAGES

10.4 Selecting Packages

As with any Linux distro, there are oftentimes different packages available to perform some given

task. However, they often require different levels of resources (e.g. command line mail vs. GUI,

command line mp3 playback vs. XMMS); the key thing with

Angstr

om is whether you have opted

for any GUI support at all (GPE, Opie or Qtopia) or whether you are strictly using command line.

The key therefore is to read the package description and do not use packages with the word ”opie”

in them when you are GPE based and vice-versa!

10.5 Format of Packages

The software packages are stored in ﬁles whose name ends by

.ipk

; this is a compressed format,

containing ﬁles to be installed as well as metadata and support scripts. Actually, the

.ipk

format is

the de facto package format for Embedded Linux, and many other distros use it for their packages too.

However, packages from different systems are not compatible. In particular,

Angstr

om maintainers

cannot guarantee system stability if packages which do not come from the ofﬁcial feeds are used.

10.6 Switch from Console Image to a X Server

If you are using a Console Image, you may install, once you have updated your lists of packages,

xserver-kdrive

, or

xserver-kdrive-imageon

(for Zaurus C7x0 image users). Next, install

task-base-extended, angstrom-x11-base-depends, angstrom-gpe-task-base,

angstrom-gpe-task-settings

libesd0

. It will give you a fully working X GUI and a base GPE

environment.
