http://wiki.openwrt.org/ is the community maintained documentation.

What you are looking for is ignoring the config, and starting from scratch without an existing .config, then selecting your target/profile with make menuconfig. Then there will be no =m packages selected. > > last question regarding docs -- are there online versions of the > tex docs in the docs/ directory? that would be nice so it didn't > require one to install all the tex-related packages just to format > those doc files. These are horribly outdated, just ignore that they exist. You likely end up with a non working system if you follow these.
