Unnecessarily backup to mmc1 2. flash new firmware 3. added back most apps (canola, streamtuner, ...) 4. go redpill and installed gainroot? I think I went rd and usbhost mode here too 5. Started installing a few 'safe' pkgs like traceroute, etc. Then noticed the wget issue. I religiously check dependencies and avoid installing where there are conflicts I can't resolve thru ui. I've avoided installing things I don't understand completely (i.e. I don't just grab and install things cause they're new or shiny). I believe it would benefit most if addnl basic utils were put on device (wget, traceroute, unzip)...I believe their profile is small enough that it wouldn't affect most users. At least put all this basic stuff in a single pkg. Most users won't need but ALL developers will. mike
