Installing Debian packages using the web interface

 This is a shortcut created internally at Excito to simplify problem-finding on faulty units. We used it to install usbconsole

Browse to:

http://b3/admin/settings/software/

..and for instance, try adding the following to the URL: 

http://b3/admin/settings/software/<u>'''install/screen'''</u>

Now, screen is a dumb example since you won't have much use for it without the command line anyways, but you get the point. 

A button will appear and when pressed this package is installed. It looks in the sources currently enabled (default is our stable repo and the debian upstream). 

Disclaimer - this feature is not intended for customer use, and may or may not work properly. For instance it doesn't handle non-exsisting packages well (it seems to hang). 

This works both on B2 and on B3.
