    OpenWrt

    "OpenWrt is a Linux distribution for wireless routers. Instead of trying to cram every possible feature into one firmware, OpenWrt provides only a minimal firmware with support for add-on packages."

    Time to upgrade to White Russian rc4.

    Since the Linksys WRT54G that I am upgrading, is also my only path to the Internet (and OpenWrt documentation), I could be in a Catch-22 if things go wrong.

    Took a copy of their Web site using:
    wget -m -k -K -E http://wiki.openwrt.org/
    gave 4 MB, plus 4 MB of converted-link files.

    Re-running this command, which uses HEAD rather than GET, fails with "403 FORBIDDEN", presumably since it is a Wiki.

    Also nvram show | sort gives 457 lines. There must be some unnecessary or harmful cruft in there, but I'm loath to delete it all ...
