I will be assuming that you are running a dw neutrino image but will expand later for other images, I will also assume that you are using one of the supplied ubuntu distro's.

then start ubuntu and click on the gftp icon (on the toolbar up the top)
transfer the /tmp/root.tar to the ubuntu desktop
start terminal (on the toolbar up the top)
cd Desktop (needs the capital D)
tar -xf root.tar
then go to your desktop and you will see a folder called root you can edit the contents as if they are on your box.
!!!be careful what you edit as the box won't boot if you edit files your not sure about!!!
then back to terminal (which you should have left open)
./mksquashfs root squashfs.img -be
when it's finished you should have a file called squashfs.img on your desktop.
go back to gftp (which you should have left open)
delete the root.tar in /tmp on your dm500 and ftp the squashfs.img to /tmp on your dm500.
from your dbox remote

DreamBox SquashedFS
your box will then reboot and hopefully work as you wish.
Remember dreamup is your friend when/if it doesn't
If you have your own linux distro then just put a copy of mksquashfs on your desktop, I have attached a copy to this post.
I will post info on how to make the root.tar with other images and flashing the modified squashfs.img on enigma images in another post.
Have Fun
