| 51 | <para> | ||
| 52 | When you install software normally, ipkg downloadins the packages automatically | ||
| 53 | from ipkg servers (also called "Feeds") and installing them. The list of | ||
| 54 | servers and where they are is stored in a file called ipkg.conf in /etc/. Oipkg | ||
| 55 | is capable of maintaining this list, as well as adding or deleting feeds from | ||
| 56 | it. | ||
| 57 | </para> | ||
| 58 | <section><title>Selecting Servers</title> | ||
| 59 | <para> | ||
| 60 | To select which feeds you want to be able to see and install packages from, go | ||
| 61 | to Settings&arrow;Setups. There will be a box with a list of servers in it | ||
| 62 | called "Used Servers". Servers that are highlighted will be used to install | ||
| 63 | software from, while servers that are not highlighted will be ignored. You can | ||
| 64 | click on a server to toggle its status. When a server is disabled, the | ||
| 65 | information about that server such as its name and location is kept, so that | ||
| 66 | you can resume using it without having to reenter this data. "Ok" will save the | ||
| 67 | changes, and "x" will cancel them. | ||

| 73 | Settings&arrow;Servers. Click on the button labeled "New" and enter the name | ||
| 74 | and URL into the appropriate fields at the bottom of the window. The name is | ||
| 75 | only for your convinience, so name it whatever makes sense to you. The URL is | ||
| 76 | the URL of the feed, so the URL for the opie feed would be | ||
| 77 | "http://131.152.105.154/feeds/ipaq/unstable". When you are done, click "Ok" to | ||
| 78 | save the new server, or "x" to cancel adding it. | ||
