Reinstall EDP from command line in single-user mode?

An update made my EDP build unbootable. I can still log in to single-user mode with a text-mode console. The problems may be related to EDP directory changes so I'd like to start over from scratch, wipe out the current fixes, and install a fresh EDP.

 

How to clean out old EDP?

Is is enough to wipe everything in

/Extra

/Applications/EDP.app

?

 

How to install new EDP?

I have transferred the latest Install_EDP to the machine using a USB stick, but the installation uses the graphical desktop (Window Server) so nu luck there.

How can I install EDP from the command line?

 

How to run the build?

After installation I will need to run the build with recommended settings for my system. In the old EDP this was console/script-based but this is now web-based.

Can I still call on the build from the command line somehow?

 

Thanks

Mike Wilson

Yes, there are changes to EDP directory. Remove Extra folder and EDP.app, and follow this for new installation: http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/documentation/post-installation/

 

Sorry, you can't run EDP completely in command Line to build. If you provide details of your model, OSX version and explain your problem, so i can help you to boot then you can install EDP and do build.

Oh, ok, I thought it could be completely console based as older versions of EDP ran with a terminal interface. But maybe myFix is called upon, and needs the graphical desktop?

 

I already have a "support thread" going under the Dell forums:

so I'll hope for responses there then :-P

 

Thanks
