I currently have a box online, P4 3.06 w/ HT, 1gb RAM and 2x 120gb HDD and would like to get it folding. It currently is running RHE3. I was trying to get 2 copies running on startup, but it errored out when I tried to start it as a service (even as root). Anyone have a link to how to go about setting it up?
 
What error did it give?
http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=7611
Code:
curl -O [url]http://www.vendomar.ee/~ivo/finstall[/url]
chmod +x ./finstall
mkdir ~/foldingathome
mkdir ~/foldingathome/CPU1
cp -r WHERE_IS_THE_FAH_NOW ~/foldingathome/CPU1
rm -r WHERE_IS_THE_FAH_NOW
chown -R THIS_USER.THIS_GROUP ~/foldingathome
./finstall

HTH
 
It was an error involving permissions or something like that... I'll give it another go in a few, working on an HTPC that will also be folding in it's downtime.

It was a guide I found a link to here (can't seem to find it now) involving putting 2 scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d (rc5.d as well) called S98folder and K98Folder (i used S98folder1, S98folder2, K98folder1 and K98folder2 since i was going to run 2 copies) I had to modify the script a bit to point to the directories i was using (/home/folder/fah1 and /home/folder/fah2) but other than that I pretty much followed the guide to a T. I could get F@H running by running the script, but not after I had moved it to the /etc/rc.d/rc3.d directory.

I will give your suggestion a go here shortly though. I hope to get that extra 3Ghz on the folding team. :)
