Re: WR703N extroot and swappable storage?

Hi Matthias,

I'm pretty capable with *nix but have little to no knowledge of OpenWRT. I can certainly follow instructions without too much explanation.

Where can I get the 1.0 that I can install with opkg (or instructions for a local install)?

Perhaps if you could tell me where to begin I'll let you know if I get stuck?

A couple of observations so far; There is a piratebox_ws_0.6_img.tar.gz on my usb drive with the 20MB pb_img in it, I guess I don't need this? Also, is 0.6 very outdated? I followed David Dart's guide (which might I add has a couple of mistakes that might catch out *nix newbies).

I See the openwrt.img, and openwrt.swap, I imagine the former is to hold all the additional packages too large to fit on the internal flash? And from a df I'd guess they're mounted as loopback?

pbIMG_ws.img I guess hold the piratebox files, again mounted in a similar way?

I havn't tried mounting any of them to look at their contents yet, nor have I poked around in the filesystem on the device yet. I did notice that if I boot without the USB drive, but with a blank one, the OpenWRT image and swap are recreated.

That's where I'm at currently.
