optwares lost when router telnet session has ended

[emailpr]

Guys, I have followed all the procedures for installing the kfurge custom firmware (except for closing the root logging in telnet, I am okay with that being on).

So i installed all the optwares, busybox-base, busybox-links, wget, uclibc etc..
but when my telnet session ends and I open it up again, somehow everything seems to have been lost. vi is not found, ipkg is not found (when I do ipkg update) and seems like everything has rolled back itself.

Am I supposed to be doing something so that next time when I reboot my router, it "remembers" all of this? If so, please do let me know what and how to do it.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Both PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH become invalid with a true login shell. You'll have to add the lines to the users .profile in order to make them active with each login.
