cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 17 Jan 2003 : 22:30:16 hehehe... well that shouldnt stop you from running it on an 840AV if you A) know what you're doing B) want to leave it on a long time, and wait a long time :P iDunno how to set up the CLI version... sorry Official 68k videographer
candyPunk Full Member USA 856 Posts	Posted - 26 Jan 2003 : 10:40:31 I got it working w/ help from MAF... EVERYONE WHO IS ON OS X SHOULD USE THE COMMAND LINE VERSION There isn't any scary UNIX stuff involved - you can get dock apps that do it all for you, and it is about twice as fast - I used to do units in about 24 hours, now they are about 14. Seriously, lose the GUI version. Now then, there's a little something that's been bothering me for a while. I certainly don't want to criticize our renowned and powerful SETI leader, bigsadhu (Renard1), but the goal of our group as stated on the SETI@home website seems a little...weird. Can we change it? Does anyone mind? { candyPunk } { Captain of Observation, 68k MLA } { 68k Macs liberated: 4} { My baby: Q660av }

Does anyone mind? { candyPunk } Eh??? Whats wrong with wanting the world to be dominated by 68k macs? Better than having it dominated by Microsoft I reckon. However, if a majority wants it changed, I'm open to suggestions. I heartily agree re: the Command Line client. Blows the GUI one out of the water... 'specially if you've got a DP G4, because you can run two clients simultaneously. Setidockling is a great way to manage your crunching on OS X. Cheers!
