.
]$su <enter> .
password <enter>
]#mkdir /usr/local/seti <enter> .
]#mkdir /usr/local/download <enter> (if you dont already have that created) .
]#startx
.


Open up what ever browser you like, make this quick your logged in as super user. Go to the SETI@HOME website and download setiathome-3.03.i686-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1 to /usr/local/download, logout of Xwindows.

.
]#cd /usr/local/downloads <enter> .
]#tar xvf setiathome-3.03.i686-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1 -C ../seti <enter> .
]#cd ../seti <enter> .
]#crontab -e <enter> .
.

***NOTE you should see a new screen, type lowercase "i" without quotes and then type in this
.
0 * * * * cd /usr/local/seti; ./setiathome -proxy seti.scarieville.com:5517 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null .
.
***Now hit "Esc" (escape key) and then type ":x" <enter> now it will say something about installing a new crontab and bring you back to the root prompt.

.
]#./setiathome <enter> .
.

*** go through the configuration of "2" and "youremail@address.duh" and it will grab a Wu. hit "ctl+c" and type
.
]#./setiathome -proxy seti.scarieville.com:5517 & <enter> .
.
***hit <enter> again and your back to the root prompt
.
]#exit <enter> .
]$_
.

Another alternative is to create symlinks by doing this so it starts on boot;
.
ln -s /etc/init.d setiathome /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99Setiathome .
ln -s /etc/init.d setiathome /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99Setiathome .
ln -s /etc/init.d setiathome /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K99Setiathome .
ln -s /etc/init.d setiathome /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K99Setiathome .

That had been sitting around in there for a longtime I guess......

I think you don't have to type the final point in the crontab line....
If you want to see the SETI output then replace
> /dev/null
with
> /dev/tty8
Now you just have to hit CTRL ALT F8 to see the SETI output messages.
