The project freetz provides an enviroment to create custom firmware images with selected features for routers by AVM. Practically, the user calls a ncurses-menu on a linux box, selects features to be added or removed, save the configuration and runs 'make'. The Makefile compiles software packages for another CPU and packs a fake firmware-update. Because the AVM routers have the same problem like Samsung-TVs (readonly-filesystems, restricted diskspace), it is possibly to install parts of the firmware on an USB-device. The packages are compiled in a way that as less libraries are required as possible and all features that are not really necessary are disabled.
The biggest difference is that AVM routers use the MIPS-CPU and Samsung-TVs ARM.

Re: the freetz-project, a good source for custom content?
I can install trac support for project immediately. But it still early I think. We have started SVN repo for OpenEmbedded recently. When it became stable, I can open one 
What other users are think about?
