BOINCpe beta v0.4.1 (BOINC v5.8.15, BartPE v3.1.10a)

(Like I said, a work in progress... )

Version BOINCpe beta v0.4.1 (BOINC v5.8.15, BartPE v3.1.10a)

RE: How to set up BOINCpe

Step #1: Check network settings

[NetID]
ComputerName = venice
Workgroup = WORKGROUP

I want to use a shared cached folder for boinc not the 'persistancy' option of BoincPE.

[NetDrive1]
; Drive = * (to use the first available drive letter)
Drive = Z:
NetworkPath = \\toledo\boinc
UserName = boinc
; Password = (leave it empty to be prompted for a password)
Password = farm

Note: How to disable simplified sharing and set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP

Create limited access account boinc and share the folder w/full permissions?


[PostNetAutoRun]
1 = %SystemDrive%\Programs\ultravnc\ultravnc.cmd
I don't have a monitor, keyboard, and/or mouse connected to farm machines--I must start ultravnc. After it finishes then I start the batch file on the shared folder (one per farm machine)

Change:

C:\BOINCpe_beta_v0.4.1\plugin\BOINC_client\client\init_boinc.bat

SET BOINCdata=%ramdrv%\BOINC\Data ---> SET BOINCdata=Z:\venice


ShutDown after Boinc exits

PeBuilder

Disable RAMDrive--Need that ram to cache network files.
Disable Persistancy

Enable vnc (Don't forget to get the latest ultravnc, it's not in the plugin folder.)
