i don't think they are so happy with the idea of having "advanced" users browsing around in the root directory.

On the other hand it is, from my point of view, bad design of there Viewers/Filemanager if they write manifests and move files you open in every path, instead of having them limited to fixed paths (/mnt/card ... and subfolders) of external or internal memory, in which the system can't be harmed.

This is a point that speeks for having a SSH connection available at least over the wired interface, until the system knows it booted up ok (Devicemanager or what their GUI is called is up and running). If I had a shell, i could easily fix this myself.
