Where media / walter / CALIBER is the folder that is created for the installation.
Having Calibre physically installed on the machine works, but if I pass the usb to another machine, it won't.
Would I need to put the .calibre and .config folders? If so, could you tell me if it goes on the usb or on the other pc.
I was looking in the forum but could not find or could not understand the concept.
Please apologize if it is a recurring theme |
Look for the script calibre-portable.sh it is in /opt/calibre/resources.

I have played with this for a while but you should open it in a text editor and follow the directions.
I say back up all of your config and library files then run the script.
