[Mesh] updated walkthrough

[danarauz at gmail.com]

I flashed a new router tonight, and here is my so so report.

1. Uploading not working on Ubuntu Spanish version, I used Firefox.
After five or six resets and not being able to upload the firmware, I
switched to a MacOS machine.
It just came to mind that, perhaps, Firefox in the Ubuntu machine, needed
JavaScript enabled.

2. Using Brave browser, on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6, the upload and countdown
worked on the first try, and the rest of the process went fine.

3. It produces a bit of wonder when connected to the PON SSID was just
out, and not connecting to the Internet yet.
I didn't know how long would the auto-configuration would take. Even now I
am not sure how long it took. 15mins? 10?

4. About the paragraph that says:
“Note: If you installed release 0.3.0
<https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/releases/tag/0.3.0> for myNet
N600 routers, your node can be autoconfigured. You will not need to use the
previous solution makenode, otherwise you may need to read the (instructions
further down
<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/WalkThrough#Makenode_.28v.0.2.3_and_earlier.29>
*)”* Can that all be removed or modified with something shorter or like
this?: Note: If you did NOT install release 0.3.0
<https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/releases/tag/0.3.0> for myNet
N600 routers, please skip this section and go to step: “Blah Blah”.

5. An observation:. When connected the node, via ssh, I found the "
config_succeeded" file with instructions on how to update passwords, and
says to delete the line that reads "* */12 * * * /opt/mesh/pw_reset"
But, when checking cron, the only line there says: "0 * * * *
/opt/mesh/pwd_reset"

6. I am not modifying anything on the wiki, but i am providing some photos
taken tonight during the flashing of the router. Feel free to use them if
you want. Location: https://danielarauz.com/peoples-open-network/

Thanks!
