It's that time again...

Overclockix site has the link to the torrent, but it gives a 404 error when you try to get the .torrent.

we'll let my noob-ness shine here... haha... but is there any trick with installing this on a SATA drive? or will overclockix recognize it right away?

Thanks for the link; will be downloading shortly.

Run it live and go to menu/system/Kinfocenter in the menu and take a peak at your hardware. The machine I'm on right now has a SATA controller and is running Overclockix out of the CD-ROM right now. Hang on...let me take a quick look; yep, my WD Raptor is recognized, and sees my Liteon optical drive, etc. I don't know if I'll install Overclockix on this particular machine, but if I do I'll let you know.

Good to know. Sorry I didn't have an answer, but I don't generally build the kernels for Overclockix.

Great work Arkaine, looks awesome.

I never knew about the Linux F@H client being slower than the windows one under wine.. makes no sense to me.

Downloading now and will be seeding all the time unless I am gaming or uploading something else.

BOINC won't run

I've tried running BOINC from the Live-CD version...no luck.

I installed Overclockix to hdd and tried again (after getting that mouse to work)...no luck...it states that it couldn't connect to localhost. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

It stops at Copying Home Directory (60% after install) on Beginner, Knoppix, AND Debian install...

You created it, what's wrong?

 

[NsOmNiA91130]

I ran it through the console to see if any errors came up, and, alas, one did.

Can't open /mnt/hdinstall/home/pwall/.mozilla/default/*/prefs.js: No such file or directory.



And alas, it doesn't. I checked, and that directory goes all the way to default, ./*/ doesn't exist.

* is a wildcard, you can't name a directory *. Sounds like some kind of an error with a wildcard being passed in quotes instead of expanded.

Where's the knoppix-installer script?

 

[khiloa]

According to the knoppix website you run

sudo knoppix-installer

the sudo command runs that command at root.

I am guessing the actuall program would be /usr/sbin/knoppix-installer

Can this be modified to run SETI? I have access to many different desktops that run windows. They are idle 25days a week. No software can be installed on them. I need a CD that I can boot to run BOINC under Linux.

Has anyone done this? If so where should I look. I am a n00b when it comes to Linux.

 

[Arkaine23]

Boinc is included. All you'd want to do is-

Issue the command foldoff so that overclockix will shutdown folding@home. Then navigate in the menus to K > OVERCLOCKIX > Tools > Boinc to start the configuration GUI for boinc. Alternately, the command would be boincmgr.

Where did you get the monitor for F@H? I've been looking for a decent one forever. Yes I know it's superkaramba, but what......module(?)?
