SNIPPET: OpenWRT on Netgear WGT346U Dumbass Help - No storage space on device 
Monday, August 22, 2011, 02:24 - How-Tos
This post is to document a dumbass problem I encountered using OpenWRT. I'm no pro at openwrt so I post these things here in the case that in the future I might need this info again.

I flashed the latest version of openwrt onto my wgt346u router and found that, although no packages were installed, I had no space available to install anything.

After a few hours of intense reading online, I looked back at the opkg configuration in the web interface. (Luci -> System -> Software -> Edit package lists and installation targets)

In this page, there is the contents of a config file titled "OPKG-Configuration".

It had the contents:

src/gz packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/1 ... x/packages
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
#option overlay_root /overlay

To free up space, I had to remove the # character from the last line.
