OpenWRT(or equivalent) modular usage

Overview

Reconfiguring OpenWRT(or equivalent) to use a set of configs and binaries off a thumbdrive or other storage medium in order to change the entire use of the device. The device's use would be entirely dependent on what "package" is loaded on it at boot time.

Status

Working, now for package development.

Advantages

• Usage is determined by thumbdrive or other storage medium connected to it.
  • Anything from a 64MB thumbdrive and up could be used for this.
    • These things are cheap.
• The devices this would run on range in price from $20-$40.
  • Reasonably disposable.
    • Public Overnet
    • Anonymous drop fileserver
    • Geocaching
• Reusability after a purpose has been served.
• Collectability of "packages"?
  • Gotta catch'em all!
