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:
- Ipkg - Itsy Package Management System
- jffs - Journaling Flash File System
- USB , which means it cannot support
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 mount ... /dev/discs/disc1/part3 on /usr/local type ext2 (rw)
Note that the "(ro)" has changed to a "(rw)", indicating that you can now write to it.
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. If you like, you can make the file system read-only again with the command:
mount -o ro,remount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /usr/local
