“After you boot into Ubuntu, make sure you have the DD-WRT image
file accessible. If you had put it onto a flash drive, CD, or other
removable storage, insert that now. Otherwise, connect to a network
so you can get on the Internet to download the image file. If
needed, use the download links above.

“Take a moment and identify the path to the image file; you’ll
need to enter this later as part of a command. If you downloaded it
in Ubuntu, it may be on your desktop; for example,
/home/your_username/Desktop/dd-wrt_full_vga.image. If it’s on a
flash drive or CD, you can browse to it and copy the path from the
Location field.”
