Hi Cyrus -

Appreciate the detailed instructions - have been following them here, but
its not working - tried a few things, such as repeating the clean etc -
deleted all previous feeds for the 'luci' that was using the online
repository etc -  I have included some information below, was wondering if
you had any suggestions on  the approach to take to debug this - by the way,
the Host machine is  running Debian 4 (Etch) - maybe I should start over
with a fresh OpenWrt install?

Thanks

Paul


a] should I expect to see a luci package in the ../buid_dev/target..../
folder or maybe somewhere in ../bin/packages?

b] how can I verify that this has worked before burning to flash on the
target?

c] the Administration option is now missing from the menuconfig - is this
correct?

d] after running the feeds update script, should I do an install? I can
verify the following in the feeds folder (my local repository is now
'/home/group/paulluci'):
