I installed dd-wrt.v24-9433_VINT_mega.bin directly from Linksys Web Interface (Firmware version 2.07.1) without problems or issues. The procedure is:
1. Hard Reset (press for 30 secs the reset button - IMPORTANT). 2. Upload the firmware from Linksys Web Interface. 3. When finished the flashing, Hard Reset (press for 30 secs the reset button - IMPORTANT).

[comment added 01-08-2010 by DJJB] I tried to install the mega pack as well through the Linksys Web Interface. Did the resets even the 30-30-30 way, but it bricked my router. The power LED flashes fast and the DMZ sometimes comes up for about 5 seconds. When pinging TTL=100, but doesn't respond to the TFTP-tool anymore.
If it's safer to install the mini version first, you might want to do that first to take less chances...
