Cannot install ipeirf

I am trying to install iperf on a ReadyNAS Pro 6. I have VERY limited Linux experience so have so far not been game to to try anything special in the linux console.

Trying apt-get install I get the following

medianas:/# apt-get install iperf
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package iperf
medianas:/#

How can I install iperf on my ReadyNAS Pro 6?

Re: Cannot install ipeirf

I just checked and it can be installed easily on the new OS (ReadyNAS OS 6) after doing an

# apt-get update


As for your Pro 6 running 4.2.x you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list uncommenting the standard etch repo
then run

# apt-get update

and try installing it again.

Installing some things from the standard repo may not be advisable but installing things such as iperf should be O.K. Nevertheless if the unit is the primary storage for important data you should ensure your backup is up to date just in case before using apt-get.
