This script method does not seem to account for accessing SSH via USB instead of EVDO or Wifi. I don't believe it sets up the firewall correctly to allow USB0. --SagaciousB

AND WHERE EXACTLY DO I TYPE THIS INTO? WHAT PROGRAM, IF IN CMD WINDOW, WHERE? - Srlake314

I edited the article to include a link to info re: getting the bash correct: "Only the default shell (/bin/ash) will work for ssh. To change your shell to bash (located in /opt/bin/bash after the install), you will have to create an /etc/shells file, and add the following lines:" superduperpre

Uninstallation before update requirements?

I do not see how to uninstall. It appears to me that the Optware instalation should be safe to leave installed as implied by the "we use /opt so as not to be overwritten by an update" statement. Are the Quilt installation steps mentioned here also safe to leave applied during a WebOS update? It does sound like patches and tweaks installed by quilt should be removed prior to an update. If the command `cd / ; quilt applied` found at Applying_Patches#Listing_Applied_Patches reports that no patches are applied is it safe for an update?

So, If I am correct in my assumptions above then everything found in /opt is safe to leave in place during an update. But perhaps things outside that folder are not? For example I've configured dyndns per [1] which required a new boot script named /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/09update-ddns, would this cause problems. Similarly per [2] installing a lighttp service requires the addition of a /etc/event.d/optware-lighttpd script, would this also cause WebOS update problems?

Thank you for any insights you might have, delaying my 1.2 update till I feel more confident... --Dolio 06:49, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
