I'm looking for a description of the six files listed here:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.5/targets/x86/64/
I'm not sure which should be used when

WOW...that's actually a VERY GOOD QUESTION.
OK...
-
Combined includes the full kernel and OS, the "EXT4" and "SQUASHFS" part should be obvious
- EXT4 File System
- SQUASHFS File System
-
The other rootfs would be used properly in combination with vmlinuz
- EXT4 File System image and vmlinuz
- SQUASHFS File System image vmlinuz
- Generic files and vmlinuz

https://openwrt.org/inbox/firmware_image_names would be the page to add this info to.

I don't have editing privileges on this page.
Just rechecked: Everybody who is logged in can edit this page.
