Transfer Library Database

Is there a way to grab the 5GB library of Logos and move it to another PC without issues? Reason being, I have a laptop, and I used my work network =-D to download the Bronze Base Package; however at home, in the country, I barely have more than a dial-up connection. It could probably manage the first 50MB it downloaded, but definitely not the entire library, I really think it'd time-out or take forever. I was wondering if there is a way to copy the files in the C:? I didn't explore much, or experiment, just figured I'd ask here first. If not I suppose I can take the home machine to work, but again it'd save me some trouble if I could just move it via jump drive.

Thanks for any help!

Anthony, yes there is a way to do this. You cannot copy them directly into a Logos folder however. They can be SCANed in using the SCAN command from a backup drive, a DVD you'd burn (maybe more than one), or from another computer that has the resources installed.

Check this wiki article out and look at using Method 2 to do this and save indexing time as well: http://wiki.logos.com/Quick_Installation_onto_multiple_computers

Note - this was written for L4 and we do not have Custom Installation option in L5 so ignore that.

Has this changed since the original beta, when I did perform a custom install?

As a matter of fact I reported something I now wonder about. I haven't tried to do a fresh install so that hasn't come up. I read someone else here saying that custom install had been removed and that is what I based the statement on. With your report, I simply don't know. It seems the statement was wrong.
