Believe it or not this is the second time I've done this recently.
Attempted to install openvpn in WRT54G running openwrt Backfire 10.03.1
Ran out of space.
32.0K remaining.
How can I get back that space these packages are taking up? Is there anyway to remove them?
Yes I realize this is a common and stupid mistake.
