Quickguide installing custom firmware?

[luckynuts]

@ Extreme
I had the same error message.
1. Watch out you save the firmware on a small path like your c harddrive
2. Check the sice of your firmware...it has to be about 17 mb!!!! not like 300kb like mine had when i got that error message. If your´s does has about 300kb redownload it ...maybe with firefox or something else than IE

Hi folks,

first I would like to thank you all - especially kfurge for his great work.
I think now that the problem was that I did not wait long enough before I started the upload via the Asus firmware tool.

@kfurge (or anybody who knows):

When I log in as root, I always have to manually do this:
export PATH=/opt/bin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

How can I implement this so that it standard ?
I saw these lines in the rc.local file but when I log in it's not activated
Do I have to make a .profile or profile file ? If yes, where do I need to put this file ?

I would appreciate if you or someone else could help me with that.

Regards,

Extreme

export PATH=/opt/bin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

Use bash as your shell and put the lines into root's .profile. I have a sample posted on my web page.
