log files are as important a part of a database as ibdata files.

Trust me, I know; they didn't get backed up I've realized too late though ...

You can try using some dummy log files from another installation and set
force recovery to 6 to skip the log scan.

... what's the minimum configuration I need to set up to get a parallel copy of MySQL running (or on a different machine?) with those data files? If I just specify the data files with the same sizes and log directory (bringing in fake logs), will it work, or do I need additional information for MySQL to know what's going on?
