I've already installed boinc 4.43 and it is currently running I believe seti 4.02. Now bear with me, as I am still rather novice at Linux, I've dabbled a little with it and do some basic tasks in it, but either way, here's my request: I would like to get an optimized client for this server, and I've seen the list on Metod's website, but I don't know which I should download for my system, and I'm not 100% sure how to install it into the system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! "Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures." -Jessamyn West ID: 126927 ·

Replacing the boinc app is just a staight swap. To install the optimized setiathome app you will need to place both the client and an appropriately configured app_info.xml file in your /projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu directory.

It's called "P4-optimized IPP 4.07" and it's name is setiathome-4.07-ipp.i686-p4-linux-gnu.gz Once you get it, do this: gunzip setiathome-4.07-ipp.i686-p4-linux-gnu.gz chmod +x setiathome-4.07-ipp.i686-p4-linux-gnu cp setiathome-4.07-ipp.i686-p4-linux-gnu boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu Create a new file called app_info.xml under boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu, and paste the appropriate info into it. Check Metod's page for the script which automatically generates the app_info.xml I am intentionally not providing a direct link to the client so you have a chance to browse his site and his disclaimers :) ID: 126973 ·
