I've downloaded the client, unpacked it and attempted to run it on an old Linux computer I have. This computer doesn't have X server installed, and I don't want to install X on this computer either (harddrive is too small for that). How do I configure and run the BOINC client for SETI@home processing? |

Try ./boinc --help There is a good documentation about installing the boinc client in the boinc wiki : http://boinc-wiki.ath.cx/index.php?title=Installing_The_BOINC_Client_Software_on_Linux |
