Do you want to reinstall the Lacie OS, or install Debian?

I want reinstall Lacie OS.
Excuseme - what is the plus in Debian installation?

I've written a wiki page
The plus is that Debian is a full-blown server OS, so you can run whatever service you want (provided your CPU and memory are sufficient). Debian has around 25000 packages available. Not all are useful on a NAS, as it's a bit impractical to run software with a GUI, but believe me, there is enough left.
The con is that you'll have to compile your own kernel, and will have to build your system (almost) from scratch. No fancy webinterface (unless you install one), no Samba (unless you install one), no ...

Mijzelf, thank you very much you instruction is ideal!!! All work now!!! Respect for you!!! Debian is not for me beacouse i need media server on it and it included in Lacie OS.

Thank you Mijzelf!!!

hello,
i have manage to install a new disk with lacie firmware using this how to http://lacie.nas-central.org/wiki/Installing_firmware_on_a_fresh_disk._(Edmini_V2) and this files
http://downloads.lacie.nas-central.org/Users/Mijzelf/EdMiniV2/Partitions/ . thank you verry much Mijzelf
i have a question Mijzelf do you remember the user and the password for the EDmini (v2) serial console?
i have a working server ..but i can't access it ... Admin / Admin root/Admin root/admin root/root ..doesn't work
EDIT :
i have acces with admin/admin on web interface

As far as I remember that partitions contain stock Lacie firmware, which means the passwords in /etc/shadow are not known. And I think you can't set them either, as they are overwritten on boot.

But you can install dropbear with key login, which gives you a root shell.

hello Mijzelf,
i have manage to set the ssh using dropbear from your post.
also i manage to reset the root password and it still the one i set even after reboot (i put the dropbear in /dev/sdx8 partition) .
