openwrt

Update: It's come to my attention that Windows will not see a Fat partition on a card if the first partition is ext2. I have changed the instructions below to so that the fat partition is first on the card, thus allowing you to use it with Windows.

I've been playing around with the OpenWrt RecoveryOS a bit recently. I like it because it's small, fast and there's a good amount of packages available in Projectgus' repo. The problem with all these awesome packages and the RecoveryOS, though, is that there's not much space left in the Zipit's internal flash to store these goodies. 

WARNING: Do not run the z2uflasher script from z2lite. The flash script is not working properly with it. Until I figure out what the problem is, I recommend using z2sid or openwrt to flash an already u-booted Zipit. 

UPDATE: anarsoul has merged the linux 3.2 kernel into projectgus' OpenWrt repo. This means that the package repo from chainxor.org will no longer contain 3.0 kernel module patches for this openwrt recovery os. The recovery os itself will still work fine, but you should not try to install kernel modules packages with opkg. I will either make my own repo or rebuild the recovery os with the newer 3.2 kernel.
