2082 Often, rather than re-flashing a new image, you might wish to install updated
2083 packages into an existing running system.
2084 You can do this by first sharing the <filename>tmp/deploy/ipk/</filename> directory
2085 through a web server and then by changing <filename>/etc/opkg/base-feeds.conf</filename>
2086 to point at the shared server.
2087 Following is an example:
