How to get to B5 or B6 on a new computer

I've developed a major problem on my computer and may have to send it away to the dump. It is my only computer.

If I get a new one, what do I have to do to get back into the Beta testing and up to date?

Is this right?

Install L3

Update L3

Run the script for L4 (I am in the download group and couldn't get the download to install probably because of the security settings/configuration of my college -- a new computer would be set up similarly) and then download millions of gigabytes of updates and indexing forever -- a little cynicism there :)

    Hi Chris,

    First, I recommend that you install the latest version of L3 from the get-go, rather than installing an older version and then updating. Then install all your L3 products. Fortunately, you can install L4 Beta 5 (or Beta 6) initially; you won't have to start with an earlier beta.  Preparing and indexing your L4 library is improving with each beta.  :o)

    Melissa,

    Thanks for not replying to my cynicism. I'm not sure what you mean by the latest version of L3. I have install CDs that are a couple of years old, but nothing else. Is there a download or some way to install the latest version of L3?

    Have you got a copy of your L3 resources, especially third party ones, or are you relying on loading them all from CD's? What version is your (hopefully) v3 Installation Disk (3.0b, 3.0c)?

    Dave:

    I have copied all my resources from CDs or downloads - I have made backups at various times and can still copy from my hard drive.

    I'm not sure how to tell what version my v3 Installation Disk is: I put it in and the only thing I can tell is that it is from 4/3/2006. There is nothing on the CD I can see.

    I believe  http://www.logos.com/support/downloads/ldls  will take you to it.

    Alex,

    That looks like what I'm looking for L3.

    Thanks,

    Melissa,

    My IT guy wants to send my computer away. How do I remove all the evidence of L4 to ensure I keep the NDA?

    And after that, empty your recycle bin.  ;-)

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    Open the case and remove the hard drive.Then select from the following menu:

    1. Find a large, heavy sledge hammer, imagine you're beating down the devil, and let him have it. CAUTION: make sure you strike more than three times (2Kings 13:18-19).
    2. Shoot the hard drive out of a civil-war era cannon at a bridge abutment, or any other hard surface.
    3. Find a demolition expert and ask him to show you what happens to a hard drive tightly wrapped in 50 feet of primacord.
    4. Ask to borrow someone's hunting rifle, take it to a safe place and destroy the technological beast before it becomes self-aware.
    5. Or, if you're less imaginative, put the hard drive in a storage trunk in your attic/basement until L4 is released, and then bring it to a computer parts recycling company. In this case, reformat the hard drive before removing it from your computer.

    Yes, creative, but the IT guy wants to try a warranty service to get the motherboard replaced and give me a "loaner" in the meantime. So, I want to send a "clean" computer away, install L4 on a different computer, then, hopefully later, uninstall it again and re-install on my original machine. I'm not actually wanting to protect it from some poor kid in a dump in India finding out about L4.

    If I actually get to send the computer to the dump -- I wouldn't mind -- I'll try option 1 or 4. Option 2 is hard for me to find here in Canada :)
