Re-install the entire Debian OS on the My Book Live

Hi to everyone,

As already asked in the past (but the answer is not reachable) by Javier.

I just want to ask if there is a way to re-install the entire Debian OS on the My Book Live.

I mean to set it as it was out of the box.

The Full factory default (performed via the Dashboard) does not clean up the programs and the scripts that where modified via SSH. 

I was wondering if this is possible so, after playing around installing some software to try them out, it is possible to roll the system back the entire way. 

Thanking you in advance for your response,

Javier

reinstall the firmware.   Any firmware install or upgrade will overwrite any scrips you have modified with SSH. 

Ok.

Will a new (or old firmware) correct all package problem that I introduced ? (I have unmet dependencies that I’m not able to fix, I removed wd_nas package, in short I did a lot of stupid things).

It’s enough to have the script updateFirmwareFromFile.sh and the latest firmware to fix my problems?

I saw that the latest firmware it’s not downloadable for manual install, do you have a link of a recent firmware?

Thanks in advance
