ipkg wish-list

I wish that ipkg had the ability to say "install this package's files
under /mnt/ramfs instead of /, and for each of those files install
symlinks to /mnt/ramfs in /, except for configuration files, which
should go in /". See, I used to have an iPAQ with 32/32, and I felt
like I had plenty of space. Now I've got a 64/16 iPAQ, which feels
really cramped but actually has more storage.

Repeat the above paragraph with s/ramfs/hda/g , cuz some people will
want to do the same thing using a CF card or Microdrive.

Okay, and then when ipkg can do that, it also needs a "reload all the
packages that were installed in ramfs which are now gone because you
rebooted, only keep the configuration files without whinging." :-)
