Anybody have a more elegant solution?
I am looking to use this to fix my timezone problem, but I get a message about this being a read-only file system. How do I obtain read/write to this in order to make the change and then restore the sytem to read/only? I plan on making a backup copy of start.sh to be sure I don't screw things up beyond repair. I intend to use mc in myts to add my own timezone setting.
