Contents

x86

Regular PC computers can run DD-WRT by using an x86 build of DD-WRT.

Applications

You can, in theory at least, escape many of the limitations of small platforms.

Limitations

The x86 version of DD-WRT does not support the following features:

  1. Ipkg - Itsy Package Management System
  2. jffs - Journaling Flash File System
  3. USB , which means it cannot support
    1. USB Storage

Commands

More Storage

There is free space on the installation image in partition 3.

Partition 3 is mounted Read-Only at boot by default.
You can see this with the mount command:
> mount
...
/dev/discs/disc1/part3 on /usr/local type ext2 (ro)
The "(ro)" means that the partition is mounted read-only.

To mount it read/write, the command is:

    mount -o remount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /usr/local

This works for a machine that is booting off a Compact Flash(CF) device.
You might have to change it a little, if you're booting off something else.

When you reboot, partition 3 will be mounted read-only again.
