Purchased a TM Single OE to replace my Alien Box and loving my tm one which came with 4d pli image which is nice few things i cant quite get my head round and tried reading couple forums to see if theres any help so here it goes so far

ipk files i keep finding 2 ipk files usually say 1.6 and 2.0 pli 3.0 being on 4d this is a pli image, have been trying 1.6 as presume for TM this is the correct one and have been ftp the ipk file to var/volatile/temp then going to telnet am i using the right command by putting opkg install /tmp/*.ipk just sometimes get message saying error.

Secondly im wanting to change to vix image will i need factory reset or is it just a case of putting on memory stick and following the pdf guide i have found and also is there a limit to the size memory stick you can use ie alien shd was max of 4gb

thanks a lot
regards
