hi Grimsey1986
as far as i understand it is possible but usually hal is on a c drive system and so don't know if that part will make a difference or not , someone else probably knows on here for sure.

do you mean the entire program (where you can run it from there) or do you mean just the brain files only?
maybe you could give a little detail of what you are trying to accomplish.

sorry yeah not much info on the first post - well what i was thinking was running hal in C hard drive and brain on an external hardrive that way can have more space so hal can learn more information or can you even spilt the brain memory between and external hard drive and c/d drive reason i ask is because i have 70gb free on Cdrive 74gb on Ddrive and have an external hard drive with 2TB so would prefer to use that if i could? it all depends on how much space hal requires i suppose i imagen it is quite a lot to learn and store information?

Hi Andy.

HAL is only 20mb in the default installation, with extra plug-ins it would add up only a little, any of your drives will suffice really. now if your bot has like 300 buddies on its buddy list then maybe use the 70Gb drive, it will still take a very long time to fill it up.
