52When you install software normally, ipkg downloadins the packages automatically
53from ipkg servers (also called "Feeds") and installing them. The list of
54servers and where they are is stored in a file called ipkg.conf in /etc/. Oipkg
55is capable of maintaining this list, as well as adding or deleting feeds from
56it.

60To select which feeds you want to be able to see and install packages from, go
61to Settings&arrow;Setups. There will be a box with a list of servers in it
62called "Used Servers". Servers that are highlighted will be used to install
63software from, while servers that are not highlighted will be ignored. You can
64click on a server to toggle its status. When a server is disabled, the
65information about that server such as its name and location is kept, so that
66you can resume using it without having to reenter this data. "Ok" will save the
67changes, and "x" will cancel them.
