Thank you very much, i will make a try.jrweiss wrote:FINISH the current work units. Uninstall F@H. Reinstall F@H using the Custom Installation option. Set the Data Folder to your external HDD.
FWIW, unless you have a very small SSD, it is unlikely you will use up all the write cycles of the SSD before you want to upgrade it anyhow...
Sure, i'll make a dedicated diredtory for it.JimboPalmer wrote:Warning:
when you uninstall F@H, it deletes the working directory.
So do not set it to D: unless you mean to wipe out all of D:
Set it to something VERY specific so you don't put other data in the same directory.
That was a bug with the Windows Uninstall, this topic is about Linux where I don't think the same issue existed.JimboPalmer wrote:Warning:

Once you make those selections, the shortcuts should be reconfigured to work with your selections but I have not tested that personally with the latest client version(s).
As has already been said or implied, putting the programs in the standard windows directory is recommended since they get mostly read/only access. FAH is not especially disk intensive but putting the working files in a special location is acceptable as long as you won't mind if the uninstaller will remove that location and everything in it when you decide to use it.
Code: Select all
OPTIONS:
--chdir <string>
Change directory before starting server. All files opened after this
point, such as the configuration file, must have paths relative to the new
directory.I think this did the trick. Now i have only to understand how to manually configure everything :Suyaem wrote:Not tried it, but I think this is it:Code: Select all

FAH does a pretty good job of automatically configuring everything when it's installed. You shouldn't need to manually configure anything unless you encounter a problem. Proceed cautiously.sciencelover wrote:Now i have only to understand how to manually configure everything :S

Do you know if is it possible to set to work only on covid projects or by default is already doing that?bruce wrote:FAH does a pretty good job of automatically configuring everything when it's installed.

The user name is not unique. Do get a passkey and use it together with your user name to make your account unique.Code: Select all
