	Copy the folder back before you re-install BOINC. Otherwise, you are good to go. ____________

	I believe you also need to use the same COMPUTER NAME if you want it to count towards your existing computer id

	I believe you also need to use the same COMPUTER NAME if you want it to count towards your existing computer id The computer name is irreverent. BOINC will update the new machine name on the server the next time it calls home. ____________ SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the BP6/VP6 User Group today!

	How about Linux version? Copy BOINC-directory to new installation /home/username/BOINC and install Boinc over that or first install Boinc and copy over? I'd like to test several Linux distributions and keep cache reasonable big. -Kimmo- ____________ Computers: obelix

If your test fails that cache will have to time out then be downloaded to someone new. ____________

If your test fails that cache will have to time out then be downloaded to someone new. I've upgraded/changed Linux distros various times with the same Boinc installation and picked up fine from where it left off. Keeping a minimum sized cache is good advice. Also, you need to keep with all-32bit or all-64bit. Otherwise you will pick up a different Boinc-client that then drops the contents of your cache. If you have 64-bit hardware, then you are best with 64-bit software. Good luck, Martin ____________ Mandriva Linux A user friendly OS! See new freedom Mageia2 The Future is what We make IT (GPLv3)
