installation procedure
I have been able to install ipkg. The steps are
1. get the latest ipkg tar file and install it
2. creat your own /etc/ipkg.conf file putting your repository ip in src and destinations in dest.
....
install procedure
#ipkg -d <pkg dstination as per ipkg.conf> install http://IP/abc.ipk
or
#ipkg -d <pkg destination as per ipkg.conf> install /home/barun/muipkgipkg.ipk //here i have put my ipk file in /home/barun

I tried :
#ipkg-make-index . >Packages
inside my ipk repository. Now everything works fine. I found this a great tool like rpm installation, but it's size is very less (110KB) including it's library. But proper ipkg.conf and ipk creation procedure needs to be performed for this to work.
