 ===== Migrating from OpenWRT =====
+FIXME Can you flash directly to Gargoyle from an OpenWRT install??
 It **may** be possible to install [[http://openwrt.org|OpenWrt Kamikaze]] and then [[Set Of Packages|install Gargoyle as a set of packages]] on top of it. Gargoyle is now based on Backfire and theoretically installing as a set of packages should work, but it possible it may not.
