It created the 2 files as promised in the short directions at Boinc website. These files are in the BOINC directory. Now what do I do to get it rolling? ID: 98550 ·

Boinc_4.32 runs fine on my SuSE 9.1 with two projects, seti@home and einstein. It only puzzles me because it alternates between the two projects every hour. I have a slow Pentium II CPU at 400 MHz and 320 MB RAM. ID: 102059 ·

Apparently the problem was with version 4.30. When I downloaded 4.32 everything worked. I am very new to Linux so easily confused. ID: 102451 ·
