@@ -553,3 +553,17 @@ Replaced Linksys busybox with slingbox entirely.
 
 Modified "unsling" script to use tar instead of find and cpio; removed
 obsolete and untested unsling utilities (eg: resling).
+
+Replace mkfs.ext3 with a script in order to fix an obscure formatting bug
+with the Linksys GUI.
+
+Increased the bootup delay from 5 seconds to 15 seconds in linuxrc;
+required by some large disks which require additional time to become ready.
+Touching "/.fastdisk" on the flash filesystem will revert to the original
+5 second delay, which is useful to retain reasonably boot times.
+
+Added the bootdisk mechanism: at initial boot time, partitions mounted
+on the HDD mountpoints are scanned for a special directory structure
+containing startup script, which are executed.  This facilitates easy
+customization of the boot for debugging purposes, or even automated
+installation and configuration processes.

     <P>NOTICE: The telnet service is inherently not secure.  Among other security concerns, the login id and passwords you enter will be sent in plaintext across the network.  In order to provide a slightly higher degree of security, the service will not be automatically restarted upon reboot.  However, if you do not intend to reboot soon, it is recommended that you use this page to disable the service as soon as it is no longer needed.</P>

Openssh can be installed using the standard "ipkg" mechanism: "ipkg install openssh".
