I have a number of machines that get refreshed on a regular basis, and was wondering how one could include a copy of boinc/seti with the jumpstart software? Basically, about once a week, I reload a number of systems for fresh use the next week. If I want to run seti (the old version), no sweat, just setup a directory for it, wipe out the work_unit.sah file, and when started, it will download a new one, and continue using my seti@home account info. I looked at the boinc files/dirs, and am not sure which files to whack/get rid of in order to do the same thing. Any ideas?

Running Boinc as service using a start script might be the right solution for you.
