Quickguide installing custom firmware?

[hal2k1]

Has anyone gotten a better BT client working also what the best way to get the custom firmware going?

I do not know linux so therefore it is a bit tough for me. Whats the best way to do it along with the list of files i need?

I am working on getting py-bittorrent working. This package is in oleg's optware repository, but it doesn't install properly.

rtorrent is perhaps a better option, and this package is included in other optware repositories (for other targets) but not oleg's or ddwrt's optware repository.

I have only limited knowledge. Enough so that I can have a go at installing and trying out packages, but I do not know how to make pacakges of my own from source.

Sorry.

Currently, driving the custom firmware has to be done from the command line, via a console. If you have had no experience with the Linux command line, this can be quite daunting.

So far, with kfurge's custom firmware, one can get an adequate downloader and bittorrent client happening, but as I say ... so far you have to drive these via the Linux command line.

If I can get python running, this situation may be able to be improved.
