    I've successfully moved things around for the most part, but I did it for testing...

    Do a vanilla install of Mystic and copy everything over, except the binaries (exe's) then run ./mystic -cfg and update the paths, and lastly recompile all your mods (mpc).

    I may be missing a step or a few, but this is the genearl idea.

    I'll reply over in the Mystic echo, and forward your post to it.

    I do not remember where the write up on this was but I found it once when I did that myself. The issue comes up with locations. All locations in Windows will read something like this C:\Mystic\ while all linux locations will read like this /mystic/ Also everything is case sensitive where windows wasn't. You can move them all over just be ready to hunt for all the location info.
