Anyone know of a text client installer for XP Pro? If not, how about a lesson for me so I can use it to Borg some boxes. (With permission of course) I run the graphical client myself and have never messed with the no nonsense client before.
I want to start using the no nonsense client on everything instead now. Especially on borged boxen, running as a service and no one will bother it.

Learn me the ways, oh wise ones!

when you download the text client, follow these steps:
1) put it in a directory somewhere (i.e. c:\program files\fah - i'll use this path throughout, substitute your own)
2) Start->Run->cmd
3) cd \Program Files\fah
4) FAH502-Console.exe -configonly (substitute version number for 502)
5) set up to use service mode, then adjust other options as necessary. team 33, and user rogue_jedi (if you're feeling nice, put your own username in if you are in a hateful mood;))
6) close cmd
*Only do if machine is 100% stable:
7) Start->Run->regedit
8) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FAH@C:+fah+FAH502-Console.exe
9) change ImagePath from "C:\fah\FAH502-Console.exe -svcstart" to "C:\fah\FAH502-Console.exe -svcstart -forceasm" (minus the quotes)
*Always do this:
10) Start->Settings->Control Panel; Administrative Tools; Services
11) find the only one with FAH in the name, verify that it is set to autostart
12) reboot machine (ensures that registry changes take effect)
13) watch fahlog.txt to make sure that it is running properly (gets WU, etc. - not really necessary as such, but a good idea nonetheless)

oh yeah - that service installer is meant for pre-5.xx FAH-Console versions that don't have a built-in service installer. the built-in one is all you need.

any questions?
 
Has anyone ventured into the realm of writing a little batch/etc program that would automatically do all/most of that for you? (with the newest 5.0x version, for WinXP)...


Keep on Folding!!

Nice!!!! Thanks for the help! :D

I'll probably reformat a few of my own soon and borg the rest!
Any problems I should know before changing frome GUI to console? Like uninstalling the GUI and going with the console.


 
Just make sure your GUI is off when you run the service and that the GUI (winFAH) isn't set to autostart at boot up (i.e. remove it from startup).

i could try, it'd just be a pain because i don't know of any ways to automate the config process other than providing a client.cfg (which would have my name in it, of course;)) and a reg key. which would have to go along with the batch file and the installer itself.

if you want, i can try it and see what happens (i'll need someone else to test it) it'll get its own thread, though. any takers?
