Topic: Compiling OpenWrt...

I've just started with OpenWrt developing.
First of all thank to all who are working on the project!
When I run make menuconfig it was great! Nice interfac and intuitive menu.

I tried to find the information in the forum and in the Wiki. But I still have 3 questions:

- How can set the configuration in the way that the make build the Openwrt released image (the ones I could find here: http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/rc5/bin/) ? Is it "make defconfig" the right command?
- How can I reduce the HD space required? Is there a command to eliminate the file of the toolchain I don't need anymore? (.o and eventually the sources) ?
- I have a WRT54GS I am not interested to the other bin. Could I build only its image?

Thank you very much in advance,

You can build the images for your device by editing the target/linux/image/brcm/Makefile, and removing the lines that do not contain wrt54gs.

The discussion might have continued from here.
