Solved: OpenWrt on MR3020 running, but Piratebox did not install; was: Groundhog Day?

Finally I got it!
I strictly followed the advice: "a) Extract the install_piratebox.zip file (double click on it) and drag the “install” folder over to your USB flash drive. "
And my extracted folder calls install_piratebox, but instead of this I had to drag the folder "install" from inside of it!




Since days I am trapped: I am doing the very same again and again:
- Prepare an USB Stick with auto_flash and install_piratebox
- Power on the MR3020 with OpenWrt
- Wait for an hour or more
- Telnet to 192.168.1.1
- Find there is no /opt folder to run the command /opt/piratebox/bin/board-autoconf.sh

But: The file within auto_flash is renamed to ...bin.1

What the heck am I doing wrong?
