Hi,

I just wanted to browse the Installer.app applications and programs from my FireFox / IE browser. I like to stay updated with what programs are on there, but I can't always connect w/ my iPhone since my internet is through a physical DSL cable and I don't have WiFi where i'm at.

Thanks in advance!

It connects to multiple repositories.

You can check the list here:

var/root/library/Installer/PackageSources.plist

Almost every file from Installer.app is also listed on this site: http://pxl.ibrickr.com/

Thanks for those 2 responses!!! And thanks to whoever moved my post, I didn't know where specifically to put it... sorry.

I checked this file with Finder, Preview, and Squid on my iPhone. Neither of the 3 methods was able to yield a URL. Is there a specific program that I'm supposed to use?

I've also checked the pxl.ibrickr and the other [zxcv].ibrickr site and they have different things from the installer.

Does anyone know of a way for me to just download those .pxls into my computer so I can add pxls without having to connect and download each time?

To clarify:
Installer does not use PXL

You need to use iBrickr or Breezy to install a pxl package.

Yes, you can very easily download any pxl package and save it on your computer.

You can add a new preview type to Finder to preview plist files in MobileTextEdit, but be very, very careful - If you save a binary file from MobileTextEdit, it will be corrupted and can trash your phone.

Or you could use a desktop app like iPhoneBrowser, iPhoneList, Funtastic, iBrickr to copy the file to your desktop and view it there.
