I am trying to install optware packages in my newly installed mmc/sd mod.

So i am using this to get the optware started.

wget http://www.3iii.dk/linux/optware/optware-install-ddwrt.sh -O - | tr -d '\r' > /tmp/optware-install.sh

But when i do "sh /tmp/optware-install.sh", i am getting "syntax error at line3". When i cat the install script, i found a whole bunch of html tags. But when i open that script in my firefox, it just plain text. Why is wget converting this to a html file?

try sh /tmp/optware-install-ddwrt.sh


or put this file optware-install-ddwrt.sh in /opt folder and
sh /opt/optware-install-ddwrt.sh
