			=== Root Account ===

			The image does not alter the default root account from the Raspberry Pi OS base image. So the root account does not have a password set, and cannot be used to logon to the system. If you wish to relax this default security then there are plenty of web sites with instructions on how to do this.

			The full list of symbolic links could be added here by another contributor, presumably these cover every .json file that is produced for the default web page with fully defaulted settings as to which files are produces. For the moment, two symbolic link examples are included below:
			# the processed ''realtime.txt'' -> /run/cumulusmx/realtime.txt
