You have two L5’s? Why not try doing whole disc image from one and copy it to the other? You can always revert back by overwriting it.

However, too many configurations for my evnironment to setup on Alpine, docker, vscode, gnome builder… took me awhile to make it work, dont want to change it. ha. the one i am using right now, free to flash. just need time ha. tjanks for the advice.

Just how safe is downloading “Byzantium backports unofficial” from Russia’s Yandex dot RU?
We hear so much American anti-Russia propaganda it has me wondering if the file byzantium-backports-240716-2.zip is safe be it is coming from Yandex.
I’m sure @galilley you are confident it is safe. But - 
UPDATE:
I read the following on Yandex wiki
Privacy concerns
[edit]
According to Douglas J. Leith, a computer science professor at Trinity College, Yandex Browser not only sends a hashed hardware identifier to Yandex, but also every letter typed in the address bar and every URL visited by the user.[17]

Yeah, about old links…
The link you provided goes to https://codeberg.org/galilley/librem5-byzantium-backports where there is another link:
“for detailed description.”
and that link (https://forums.puri.sm/t/byzantium-backports-unofficial/"(for detailed description.)
results in:
Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.
A long bumpy ride back to square one.

Unfortunately I can not edit the first message int this thread anymore, so, please follow the next one, marked as a solution.
About the files to download… I believe that the rules are the same for all domains independent of political agenda - you must be careful, check extensions, use antivirus software and so on 
. If I were you and worried that someone will track my downloads, I would use tor. And the last point - I did not recommend to use Yandex Browser and can not recognize how it related to the file upload service…
p.s. sorry for the bad links, fixed.

Yes, you are right, the whole installation is quite complicated and could result in some non-trivial problems… But if you are interested in some special programs I could try to rebuild that in a clean Byzantium environment like phosh-antispam.

Hi! Welcome back! 
Yes, the installation must be the same. kbd should be installed automatically as I changed dependency in phosh to mandotary.

And the third one is coming soon - modemmanager 1.24 (1.23.95 in fact). The most interesting feature according to news page is: support for putting modems in low-power mode during suspend.
I’m also working slowly with Crimson backports to align the versions of the most required packages to Byzantium’s one. After that I will try to migrate. Hope it will be in this year

Oh, that is not what the updates that I mentioned above. I haven’t installed urs yet but I received two updates from the purism byzantium repo, one of the package is librem5-base-default I believe. I am on a clean byzantium.
