Can I save space in the flash mem when I add all needed packages directly to the image? Or is the JFFS2 compression as good as the compression of the read-only squashfs?
I'm also going to replace ntpclient with rdate. As the clock of the WRT54G is very inaccurate it will not be sufficient to update the clock every 24h when my provider restarts the connection. Will have to add a cron job for rdate.
