they go into wherever you installed it

I updated my home smoothy with the 'latest' boinc and it was fine.

when I got to my friends place, the 'latest' wouldn't run. complained about missing libraries that late model kernels already have in them.

when I got back home, and looked, mine is the 5.8.15
the 5.8.17 doesn't run on the smoothwall

and also to help as an FYI for other smoothy users
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.8.15_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

so before I go and cross post this in the smoothwall forums, can some kind soul give some clues as to what I might need to go looking for, apart from the obvious like the libraries named.
as smoothwall is very stripped down and doesn't even do apt-get, so how to install it and all too.

got 5.4.9 client only on my linux smoothwall
attached with my desktop 5.8.8 gui manager

there was some 'old'ish uploads that had stalled, probably due to recent server downage.

in the Transfers tab, clicking a stalled upload, and pressing Retry Now put the upload in a Suspended state
like if I had used the Tasks tab and the 2nd button is Suspend.

the items would not un-suspend, had to SSH into the linux box, kill the client, restart, then re-attach and see that it had all uploaded just fine

I wouldn't care, but the computer sits there all day waiting for an Enter key to be pressed.
so it's idle all day.
and the entry isn't written to the log file until after the error is acknowledged.

if you had copied over the boinc directory, it would have updated the existing computer details as the computer client number is in the directory too.

if you like hte stats, you could merge the computers, if it will let you.

you cannot run seti classic and boinc and expect them to both do anything at the same time.
they are both idle processes and one will work on the idle time available to the detriment of the other.

Post:
Boinc is completely different AND separate from the earlier seti@home

if the sah client is running, it will use up your idle time and boinc won't do anything.
you need your project name http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and your unique id string similar to
95acb54cc0c713525b524f508a5cb478 which is mine, but not quite.
a long string.

attach to the project, and away it will go after you stop your sah client.

two machines crunched the wu

yet the granted credit is in-line with the error messages, not the successfully completed statisitcs.

if you save your boinc directory before formatting, you can copy it back after.

boinc will install and if there is no current project in the directory, it will get a new computer id string, and therefore a new computer for you.

the computers should be the same (if it's the same O/S) and you should jsut merge them together

that seems to be the problem. ta
they are both 'set' to be "home"
but the logs show different.
one says will run out in 1 day (default general)
the other says 4 days (home)

so, I think the 4.06 win98se workaround version might not be referencing preferences properly.
I'll get it to update, and then ask in the 4.06 topic.
