Basic Instructions:

-On startup, you will be shown a window. The main part of the window is taken up -by a list box showing packages. The packages shown will depend on the server selected.
-The servers list contains network servers containing feeds of packages that can be downloaded -and installed onto your handheld. These are held in the file /etc/ipkg.conf and can be maintained -using AQPkg. In addition to the servers defined in ipkg.conf file, there are two other servers - -local and local IPKGs. These are not network servers but views of your handheld.
-The local server shows all installed packages, and the local IPKGs server shows all ipks -that are stored on your handheld.
-On the local server, you can only remove packages. On the local IPKGs server you can only -install and delete packages - removing installed packages is currently not working. On all other -servers you can install, uninstall, upgrade and download packages.
-To get the latest package list for a server (or refresh the view), select the server you -wish to update and click the Refresh List button.
-To download a package from a remote server, select the server (any except local and local IPKGs), -then select the package(s) you wish to download (by tapping in the box next to the package -name so that a tick appears in the box) and click the Download button. Enter the path where you -want the package to be downloaded to and click OK to download the package.
-To install, upgrade or remove a package select the packages you wish to install and click the Apply -button. You will then be shown a dialog which allows you to select which destination you wish -to install the package to, which packages will be installed, removed and upgraded. You can also -set various options. (for the moment, see the documentation for IPKG for more details on these -options). To start the process, click Start. This will perform the necessary operations and -will show you what is happening. Once everything has completed click the Close button.
-Note: Currently, the operation to perform for a package is automatically decided based on the -following rules:
-If a package isn't installed, then it will be installed.
-If a package is installed and there isn't a later version available then it will be removed.
-If a package is installed and a different version is available then it will be upgraded. (Note, -I haven't yet found a way to determine if an available package is newer or older than the one -currently installed so it is possible that a package may be downgraded).
-As previously mentioned, a package can be explicitly removed by using the local server.

-A couple of last notes, in the main window, the following may be useful:
-If a package is installed then it will have (installed) after it.
-If a different version is available then it will have a * after the package name.
-You can view details of a package by tapping twice (quickly) on the package name (NOT the -box next to the package name). This will show you a brief description of the package, the -version installed (if it is installed), and the version available for download/installation -(if a different on is available).


-Well, hope you enjoy using this program. If you have any ideas/suggestions/ideas for improvements -then please let me know at andy.qua@blueyonder.co.uk.

-Thanks for using this. -Andy. - - \ No newline at end of file +AQPkg +
