Linux/Windows Dual Boot w/ F@H

[electrorcamd]

I dual boot Mandrake Linux 10.0 CE with Windows Server 2003 EE now that I got my wireless network card to work in Linux. I have F@H on my computer and it has been folding for a while under Windows. However, I will be using Linux more now and folding while using it. I don't want to have a different wu every time I reboot, one for Windows, one for Linux. Is there a way that I can share a wu between the two different operating systems?

Thanks

Hmm....interesting. I don't think so unfortunately. The code isn't exactly the same for Linux vs. XP AFAIK, so you'll have to work on 2 WUs at once. This is fine though, seeing as once you download, you can just work on them when you work on them. You're still folding of course, and based on the speed of your computer, you'll do fine PPD wise.

Should be possible. You'd want a FAT32 partition to keep the folding directory on. And you'd need to run the windows folding client in wine when booted in Linux.

If I were to use Wine, how would I setup the user id (the one in the registry) so that it matches my Windows installation, and will recognize my wus in the directory? I ask this since I have lost so many wus because of reformatting and not saving the user id.

I think that its also kept in the client.cfg file

You might want to avoid a few options like run as service in the client.cfg or adjustable cpu useage. You could create a client.cfg in a different directory using wine just to see how different it looks from the real windows client.cfg.....
