Hi all!
I'm a long time debian user, (since Woody!) but know 0 about git, and although I'm fairly bash savvy, I'm not a coder.
<see below>I went to the git page, downloaded/cloned the entire thing to ~/filename/pinebook-pro-debian-installer using the clone/download button in firefox, but when I run (either as user or root) from within the correct directory ./install-debian,
it errors out immediately with "fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"
I'm doing this from the pinebook pro, running the default oldstable debian installation it came with, fully updated via apt.
As should be obvious, I'm not git savvy in the slightest, and the entire boot process of arm confuses me.
Can anyone assist me in getting this process going to install unstable onto an sdcard?
TIA.
<new info> ok. figured out I had to do 'git init, and then git clone (git location)
now the installer fails at:
dd: failed to open 'bootloader/pinebook/filesystem/idbloader.img': No such file or directory
Suggestions?

None of these problems are problems any longer. currently at installing packages on debian installer.
