Summary: recover emptied ram
Description:
when you need to reset all RAM installed packages are gone
ipkg knows which packages are present and where they are installed
Couldn't it save the list of RAM packages and provide
a 'recover' function that reintalles the list

I think this is a good idea. One could write a shell script that would do
this, I believe, using the information returned by ipkg status. This is
related to some other ideas I have for ipkg that would improve usability.
More generally, I think ipkg should retain a log of actions it performed
and that it should support undo and redo on those actions.

I don't have time to design this or to implement it, but I'd be happy to
help anyone interested in doing so.
