+"Unslung" status (i.e. Unslung to disk, or running from internal
+flash) is now displayed on the home page in the Web GUI, as well as
+displayed at login.
+
+Using "ipkg" when running from internal flash now displays a helpful
+message indicating why ipkg won't run.
+
+The unsling script now contains a number of sanity checks, and prints
+(hopefully) helpful error messages if the system will be unlikely to
+unsling correctly.
+
+The unsling script now prompts for a new root password, and sets the
+password for both booting with as well as without drives attached. (A
+new argument "-nopw" can be given to unsling to have it skip prompting
+for and setting the root password.)
+
+The "Enable Telnet" web gui page can now be reached from the home page
+in the Linksys Web GUI.
+
+The new Unslung logo is now featured in the Web GUI.
+
+The special handling for unslinging to flash devices now works for
+both USB Port 1 and 2.
+
+The utmp and wtmp files are now created by unsling, and will be
+"emptied" at each boot. Additionally, the .pid files in /var/run and
+/var/log are cleaned out at boot; this avoids a number of strange and
+difficult-to-reproduce problems.

+The following additional kernel modules are provided: loop.o isofs.o
