Thanks a ton Kyle! Okay, so I grabbed the four files it showed under WRT54GS
v5, and now to be cautious I would like to check with you exactly how you
installed it.

I got to the installation wiki page here:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54GS_v5.0_%26_5.1_%26_6.0
Is this what you followed? And I'm guessing it's ideal to use a Windows box
to do the install with? (Only ask because my desktop is a linux machine
upstairs and the router sits in the basement beside a headless server, so
just double-checking if I'd do best by bringing my other Win7 desktop
downstairs).

Thanks a lot :)
Bob
