How to install boinc in a school network
Hi !
I'm trying to convince my school to use BOINC on its network. So I'm looking for a way to easily install boinc and attach to the WCG for the computers in a network. I found two documents about this, from the WCG, it looks like they are somewhat out of date (they are about the 5.10.22 version of BOINC).
So I wondered if someone could give me such a document updated, or explain to me how to do.
Thanks in advance.

Some info is http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Creating_custom_installers

but how easy it is to use this, I've got no idea...

Alexfun13,

Conceptually between then and now nothing much will have changed v.v. what's written in the WCG documents. The latest mass-installer pack made for WCG was 5.10.45, link http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/wcg_mass_boinc_5.10.45_windows_intelx86.exe, to me stable as a house without the bells and whistles of these hidden BOINC accounts that are created with version 6.2 and up.

Alex,
Si tu as besoin d'aide pour répondre à certaines questions (la sécurité par exemple) tu peux me contacter par mail (mon nom de membre ici, chez free.fr). J'ai fait ça récemment pour un autre membre Français et ça peut resservir... smile

Bonne chance. Jean.

Re: How to install boinc in a school network
remember this will cause the useage of electricity at the school to go up.

they may ask about things like that too..
