I did an update and tried to install mpd before chaning the sources in opkg.conf and it ran out of disk so I removed all those but it seems to have remembered that there was a newer one there.

What can I do to make it install the one from the mightyohm server?

Sorted it out

deleted statuses in /usr/lib/opkg - was the only place I could find reference to that version.

That is really weird! I haven't had that particular problem before. Glad you found a fix.

One thing to be aware of is that I think if you fill up the flash, your filesystem can get trashed. I think this is a limitation of jffs. I can't find the post that talks about this now, but in the past when I have accidentally gone over the 2MB limit I have had to reflash the router from scratch to recover.

I have had to restart from scratch about 20 times now so its not exactly a big deal

Now I have it sort of working on the USB drive storage is a non issue. For some reason its not always switching over with that script on boot every time, but as booting is a seldomly done thing at this stage I will leave it for now.
