Original Lifedrive OS files
Submitted by hefilump on 16 October, 2009 - 07:36.
Does anyone have a copy of the original Lifedrive OS files?
I have been messing about for a few months with trying to get Linux to work on mine (using all the great help on here as a guest) but do not seem to be getting anywhere.
Unfortunately the HDD on my PC that I had my backup copy on just died and I need to get a copy of the LD files so that I have a reference point to return to when things go wrong.

Don't be so
Don't be so lazy...

I have everything I need to perform this upgrade, but the linux commands do not seem to work. The Git repositories seem to have been moved and some of the commands do not work. I am relatively new to Linux commands but am learning fast. Does anyone have any knowledge re this, and in particular how I get the automated script detailed below to work. Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
git clone http://git.hackndev.com/hackndev/modrom.git
cd modrom
./customize_rom.sh

Hello mackem.alan,
I am the one who wrote modrom.git, so I'm sorry for not testing the generic part of the script as thoroughly. If you ran git clone again (on git://git.hackndev.com/hackndev/modrom.git) or if you already have it you can run "git pull" inside the repo. It should work at that point.
thanks Fahhem, does that
thanks Fahhem, does that mean that the command I type will be:-
git clone git://git.hackndev.com/hackndev/modrom.git
Sorry, whilst I can run linux commands in terminal, I am certainly no expert. How would I run 'git pull' inside the repo?
Thanks for your help by the way.
when you do "git clone
when you do "git clone <...>" a folder (local repo) is created. inside that folder you can execute "git pull" to refresh contents
Thanks Fahhem, I retried it

Something went wrong.
This is likely linked to python or the subversion repository.
PM fahhem about this.
unzip: cannot find or open brahma-palmos, brahma-palmos.zip or brahma-palmos.ZIP.
If you know the /dev/ entry of your microdrive, enter it now.

thanks I have got so far
thanks
I have got so far with the files manually, but when I try to do the unpdb.py script, allthe links to the repository for it are broken. The same applies to the makecafe script, so I am thinking the repositories have moved?
Thanks for helping
