One other question. During one of my many failed work units I did see a rather pretty CPDN logo on the screensaver, it not there anymore, what happened to it?
2) Message boards : Number crunching : 7 days no trickles (Message 13713) Posted 22 Jun 2005 by old_user15578 Post: I getting a wee bit peeved with CPDN Boinc. I\'ve tried it numerous times with numerous problems. I\'ve only had one completed unit. I\'ve had units die after 80% done, after 10% done, whenever. I just got a new, faster laptop and decided to give it a go, 2.1GHz Centrino with 2Gb RAM. Here I am 7days/ 36hrs on CPDN/ 6.5% done, no trickles, not one. Does anyone know what\'s going on, should I just give up on CPDN. I like the idea of CPDN, it\'s great to have around when the other Boinc projects are having problems, really credits mean nothing, but they are nice to have around.... Slainte, in exasperation, David

My problem is that Climate Prediction seems to be taking up a helluva lot of diskspace. When I look at c:\Program Files\BOINC\projects/climateprediction.net and checkout used diskspace, I see the following; Size Directory ---- --------- 9895 2pm6_100147788 9895 2prj_100147983 9895 2pwz_100148181 9895 2q90_100148619 9895 2qfh_100148854 9895 2qh4_100148913 9895 2qw7_100149462 9895 2qxs_100149519 9896 2pyu_100148249 9896 2qfz_100148872 11270 2pvv_100148141 152111 0yx5_000065733 340608 2qyc_100149540 I am currently crunching 0yx5_000065733, so what are the others doing in there. I have a had problems with this project erroring out and downloading new units before the previous one finished. Can anyone tell me if the other directories are dead units, and can I delete them/ Slainte, David
5) Message boards : Number crunching : wu \'sharing\' (Message 4562) Posted 23 Sep 2004 by old_user15578 Post: My primary BOINC machine is a Dell Precision laptop. Thi s machine dual boots both Windows XP and Fedora 1. I would like to be able to process BOINC units while booted up into both XP & Fedora. That is, install the Windows BOINC client on a FAT32 disk that can be seen from both Windows XP & Fedora. Install the Linux BOINC client whereever. When I am in Windows it then processes the work units & when I boot into Linux, it continues those same units, etc. I used to be able to do this, albeit a while ago, with classic SETI@home, but then they started tracking what client was processing a unit and started over if the client software changed. If I can do the above, then I have another issue. I have installed BOINC on my C drive (ntfs). If I uninstall it and then reinstall onto my D drive (fat32) can I just copy over the ...\\BOINC\\projects and all my work to date will be retained, or is there a gotcha. I am running Seti, Climate Prediction & LHC BOINC clients. Thanks in advance & slainte, David
