Oh, great, I did not know.

I have three computers, but the hardware for two of them is
not supported by OI. I can only install OI on third one,
but the WiFi network access is not supported.

So, basically I have to download through Windows or Linux,
but I do not known how to "ftp" or "wget" an update, or
anything which is not available in an ISO, from an IPS ?

I am the maintainer of ntfs-3g. How should I deposit an "IPS
package" on a plain web server I do not control ?
