i'd like to have that clarified as well. i thought kamikaze was the newer *build* system that supplanted whiterussian. if that's the case, it's not clear why the build system should be relevant in how one downloads ready-to-flash images. if i simply want to grab an image (say, 8.09) to dump on my wrt54gl, why should i care that it was created by the "kamikaze" build system? yet the "downloads" link takes me to http://kamikaze.openwrt.org/8.09/. it may be true that "kamikaze" is what was used to create those images but, as someone who might just want to grab and flash, why would that make any difference to me? for simplicity, i think the pure downloads directory should make no mention of how those images were created. they're just there, and they're available, and you can download them. if people want to get into *building*, that's different and that info should be available elsewhere so as to keep things tidy. just my $0.02. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
