Win 98

For those interested...

I am now running 4.08a of SETI on BOINC and it is running well in a Windows 98SE environment... on a 800 MB Seagate drive...

Hopefully this will let those with smaller harddrives and older OSs run BOINC...

I'll keep my eye on this system over the next few days--and will let you know if it errors out again (like the other 4. BOINC SETI clients)

Crunch 'em

lol, I tried to do the same on a 341.2 MB drive, I got 98SE loaded, but the critical updates required more than the available remaining space.

SETI BOINC on WIN 98SE looks good!

I have done about 8 WUs now with the system and it seems to be well past the point where it would start generating errors....

I am using a SETI client (alpha) in version 4.08. It is available here from Berkeley FTP servers http://setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu/boinc_alpha/download/

I now have about 80 WUs, my OS and am crunching fine on a 500 Mb harddrive (thought it was 800)... I have room to spare...

Good luck!

Crunch on

keep me info as I have several Win98SE machines still running SETI Classic.

I put 4.07 on my 98 boxes and that seems to be working fine so I quite looking for any newer versions. I'll have to check out the 4.08s.

To dtae, it has been crunching right along--no crashes at all!!

I've noticed that 4.09 alpha is also in the FTP now--no word on it... But 4.08 has proven itself on the WIN 98E platform as afr as I'm concerned...

Crunch on!!
