Just unzip this file: http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1-rc4/x86/openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img.gz
and then attach the compact flash of the Alix with your computer using a standard compact flash reader, and flash it this way: dd if=openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img of=/dev/COMPACTFLASH bs=512 (must be root, make sure you flash into the correct device to do not damage your system) regards Saverio 2011/3/21 sachin sharma <[email protected]> > > Hi All, > > I am new to OpenWrt stuff.
