 When browsing through firmware folders on the website, a subfolder named "K26" indicates that the build includes Linux kernel 2.6.x . These folders generally contain generic builds for MIPSR1 and MIPSR2 routers. Generally, only very old models (before 2010) use the MIPSR1 architecture. Most routers made after 2010 use MIPSR2 or ARM architectures. When browsing through firmware folders on the website, a subfolder named "K26" indicates that the build includes Linux kernel 2.6.x .

-\\ A:  In the //Administration/[[Debugging|Debugging]]//** **menu, enable the "//Avoid commiting to NVRAM//" setting. If you don't want to keep the settings changes, just reboot FreshTomato and settings will return to what they were before you made them. If you later decide you want to save the changes, uncheck the //Avoid performing an NVRAM commit//  button. This make experimentation fun and safe.+\\ A:  In the //Administration/[[:admin-debug|Debugging]]//** **menu, enable the "//Avoid commiting to NVRAM//" setting.

 Another option while debugging is to make a backup configuration and then make your changes, if you decide you messed things up, just restore the backed-up configuration. NOTE that configuration backup files do not work across different releases of FreshTomato. Another option while debugging is to make a backup configuration and then make your changes, if you decide you messed things up, just restore the backed-up configuration.
