The 30 second instal, GPL

I had been hanging off buying a new system. I just couldn't get my head around rebuilding all my GPL stuff with all the tips, tricks and track add-ons accumulated over the years. Then I read a post on RAS a week or so ago, saying you can copy the GPL directory. So, i bought a simple USB flash memory card. Stuck it in my old machines (no cd/rw in it) USB port (no drivers even required) draged and droped it on the card, reversesed the situation into the new machine and WOW, It work just as it was everthing installed and just how it was. This is a fantastic liitle device (only 2 inches long) and so quick and easy. Highly recommended Cheers Glenn

Amazing ;-) I don't think it would store my 6Gb of replays though... ;-) Malc.

There's a solution for that, too. It's done by driving faster! -bpb

This is how it should be. No registry kludges. Just copy the directory and you're done. Easy enough to program, just not encourage by Windows. They need designers. :) Ruud van Gaal Free car sim: http://www.racer.nl/ Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/

In MacOS X this is just how it works (usually), it's the rule, not the exception ;) Regards, Rudy ---------- GPLRank: -22
