I got one of those! Its been awhile since I have used it. a WRT54GL
flashed with an old version of dd-wrt.  I havn't kept up with it, but I
read somewhere the original author was less than forthcoming with his
source code.  Causing some consternation amongst the developer and user
communities.

If I can't score more disk space: sata card and drives.  I'm almost
certain that this box has no sata support.


Or do the install on your net and then plug into the public net to do a

Yeah this is something to seriously consider.  Save on disk space.  Of
course the library might not appreciate the extra bandwidth we'd be
using.  But we are only there once may-be twice a year. One day might
not cause a problem.
