Hi Matthias,

To get all the commands i need, i formatted the SD card with an ext3 
filesystem and created a jail environment,
by using a raspberry pi image.
That way you keep the base r21 image intact, while you can use all the 
goodies that are available on a raspberry pi.
( telnet, cal etc )
It works rather well for me, although the gallery is rather crowded with 
all the images found in the jail :-)

Kind regards,
Ed
