[Opensim-users] Megaregions and normal regions together

[Fleep Tuque]

I remember someone else saying that you don't need to copy all the files
for a new instance, but I don't think I ever saw a definitive list of what
does need to be included, so I've defaulted to just copying everything.
 Does anyone have a reference or know for sure which files are required?
