Doh! I can't find that old Linux help thread.

[Swanny]

Hello everyone.

A long time ago I started a "How to install SETI on Linux with a good caching program" or something like that thread. Stupid me didn't save it, so now it's gone in the search. Anyway, now I need those instructions again

I'm running Mandrake 8.2 right now (but it's a K6-2 450, so it won't do much). So if you would, I need some help to get myself an extra WU every 2 days



Thanks a lot,
Swan

Hi Swanny.

I'm also having a dually running linux with seti. It's really easy to set up actually. I'm using a program calles "SetiStack"
and is written by a fellow Dutchmen. Here is the link to the program.
It's located on the download page of S@NL, so all the credits go to the manager Derk.
When you've downloaded the program, unzip it and run the configuration file called "st-configure".
It will ask you how much wu's you wan't to have in you're buffer etc. Make sure the program is in the same folder as the
seti executable. after that, run the setistack program which will then download the wu's. This is just pure for the buffer.
If you want to use 2 clients, ofcourse, then you should make a new folder and you can put the same files in there, so the
seti program and the setistack program. And you can create a script (like a .bat file) which will run the both clients.
For monitoring the progress, there is a very nice program called KSetiWatch. If he has Suse, this program comes (strange enough)
with the pakkage. I don't know for other distributions. If he doesn't has the program, it can be downloaded
Here (link to homepage were the right version can be chosen)
If you have any further questions, please ask!

Good luck!

Is that what you were looking for?

I think that was the exact same response as before. Word for word

I'd love to build a Linux box, but not enough time to learn at the moment
