The guy said something about the *potentially* being able to execute a kernel with the rootfs being on a network nfs...

If so we could set up an fs image for download and get all these blueyonder routers reflashed over the internet.

How many of these boxes are in circulation ?
Would be interesting to see how he could execute a kernel root remotely ont his box (stack/buffer overflow? undocumented ops?) and probably 2-400,000 units knowing telewests reach and as its free with their 2mb + package...

If he has source/app then I will quite happily try ity on my box

You're looking at creating a distro iso file + a kernel that NFS mount it - waste of time in my opinion

I'm interested as to how many of these boxes are around : I didn't know telewest had a wireless offering
Could if I read enough (know about 4 languages intimately (including ASM) and theory on about 10) but tbh cba... Ill set up my pc to run them - much easier.

But I know I've seen ppl saying they have done it on Linksys routers and want to increase my skillset.
