If I have an installation at C:\\Documents and Settings
and want to move it to D:\\Frontier

I have surmised that the best way would be to ?export all the manila sites and then open the exported tables and put them into a new Frontier installation.

I have looked into copying the Frontier installation, read the old discussion groups and tried it and that seems impossible. It looks like I would have to go with a new installation to make it work.

My question is what is the best way to get the Manila sites over...to Frontier with a new folder structure.

Specifically,

Would I simply take the exported ManilaSite table and open it and copy it into the new install manilaWebsites.root (after uninstalling on the orignal location and installing at the new location)?

Will the links to the gems still work (they will stay in the same place)?

This is a Manila site.. http://manila.userland.com/.
