Done

Get root shell.

Increased the color depth from 8 to 12 bit so that images in the browser look better.

Changed the ntp servers but still time sync fails at boot.

To Do

  • Fix the ntp. Now every startup you have to enter the date/time manually, this is very annoying.
  • Find a suitable (old 32M) compact flash card and make a backup of the system as described here
