[OpenWrt-Devel] Reducing the root file system in openwrt

[Ronaldo Afonso]

  Hi Arjav,

  Which kind of firmware are you using? An OpenWrt prebuilt (from
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/) or a firmware build by yourself?

  Well, in or case, I suggest you build your firmware ... using "make
menuconfig" is the first thing to try for removing unnecessary binaries.
