The following tutorial explains the step-by-step instructions on how to get network connectivity up and running (on SU campus) on Puppy after the OS has been installed. Followed by the step-by-step explanation on how to point the Boinc client to a server and have the Boinc client startup automatically (and connect to specified server) each time Puppy boots.
Network connectivity:
- From the desktop, click ‘Connect’
- Click “Connect to Internet by network interface”
- Select ‘eth0′ //why does this format my zero to look like an ‘oh’???? grr
- Select “Auto DHCP”
- Wait…
- ‘Yes’ (saves settings for subsequent boots)
- ‘Done’
Setup Boinc client:
- Open a browser window and go to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
- Download the file to /root/my-documents
- Open the console
- # cd ./my-documents
- # chmod +x [saved-filename]
- # ./[saved-filename]
- # cd ./BOINC/
- # ln ./run_manager /root/Startup
- # ./run_manager
- Once Boinc opens up, enter in the information for the server to which you wish to connect.
Next time you boot, the computer should open up Boinc automatically and connect to the server you set up.
