W98 installer

Hi, newbie here.

How can i download an installer for an offline W98 machine to an online Wxp machine?

Does CPUmax work on W98?

How can i arrange to get only low spec WUs for the low spec (P500/160MB) W98 Mc and high spec WUs for the high spec Wxp Mc?

Look at My Grid - Device Manager - Device Profiles. You can create or modify profiles which specify the projects. Look over the requirements at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq and create different profiles for different machines.

I assume you want to download the WorldCommunityGridAgent.exe file that installs the UD client. Just choose Save File. Then you should be able to copy it to your W98 machine. How is your W98 machine linked to the Internet?

Re: W98 installer

Possibly Mr. Toad is speaking of running UD agent in a sneakernet mode on an off-line W98. Someone else just opened a thread today on the same subject.

  • Install an UD agent to a USB drive and start until download complete of a work unit
  • Carry to the W98, copy to HD of the W98.
  • Run on W98 till finished.
  • Exit Agent on W98
  • Copy Back to USB
  • Carry to WXP
  • Exit primary Agent on WXP and start Agent on USB
  • Let it upload/download the result / new work unit
  • Exit Agent on USB
  • Start Agent installed on WXP
  • Carry USB to W98
  • et cetera et cetera


The fineries i let you to work out yourself.

cheers

Re: W98 installer

Thanks for the quick replies, sorry about the delay in my reply.

I found i didn't need to install the WCG agent, all i needed to do was use ud_mon+ a cache of WUs and once i had got the settings set all appeared to work ok, touch wood.

'Settings Set' must be telling it to operate with the WCG agent? I trust you see right hand bottom of the start bar in the system tray a WCG logo and not a UD blue pill.... then you're in trouble :?

(Cant remember if W98 had a start bar & system tray to be honest... comes with age :O)
