Hello JAMC! if you don't mind, where did you locate the setiathome.berkeley.edu' folder?

thanks
You can find it by running the following command (as root)
find / -type d -name setiathome.berkeley.edu -print



thank you very much Temujin! :)

OK, found the answer on the Ubuntu forums...
'gksudo nautilus' opened a file browser as root and let me add the Chicken optimized files to the setiathome project folder... all is well

I used Synaptic Package Manager- it didn't ask where I wanted to install, it just did it... I have read the KWSN instructions and I have done this in XP many times, my question is Ubuntu and Linux related as this is a new OS for me ...
I found the 'setiathome.berkeley.edu' folder- when I try to drag the files and drop on the seti project folder ( a la Windows Explorer), the file floats back and will not install.
When I right click on the SAH folder is says Boinc core client is the owner and I do not have rights to change permissions- all the folder access boxes are greyed out...
Anyone using Ubuntu 7.04 help?
Thanks

they go into wherever you installed it

eg: /users/JAMC/BOINC/Projects/Setiathome----etc/
plus read the instructions.txt file in the KWSN zip file which also tell you

Hello-
I'm new to Linux (Ubuntu 7.04- 32 bit) but have managed to install BOINC and have Seti@home running... where do I find the folder to drop the KWSN Linux SSE2 files?
Is it a Windows-like click/drag/drop process?
Thanks
