Hey olum
Hey olum, thanks very much for the release! I just wanted to let you know I've removed the comments from the previous posts as the posts were bumped from over a year and a half ago, and likely users searching for BOINC in the future will stumble upon this thread.
BOINC on USB stick with Linux
This sounds similar to what I created just few weeks ago. Mine is also "BOINC on a USB stick", but doesn't require host system (it is complete standalone Linux distribution). The idea is that you can run it on your dedicated DC machine without a need to install hard drive or to configure etherboot etc. It also makes sure that your USB will not wear out too quickly (as all USB drives have limited write operations).

we use this while where working..... Well done for making this portable... what needs to be done to take this out of beta?
Using fixed paths?
Hi,
I thought this was a good idea, and would very much like to see it fully developed.
Trying it out, I ran in to some problems though.
The command window that opens (!) show the following commands and errors:
- - - - -
cd\
cd /d \PortableApps\BOINCPortable\Data
The system cannot find the path specified.
start "" "..\App\BOINC\boincmgr.exe"
- - - - -
A window error message pops up and explains that the file boincmgr.exe cannot be found. And since the CD-command is expecting me to use the path "\PortableApps\" as my PortableApps-folder, it fails.
Any chance of a quick update?
Thank you
Thank you for you hint.
I worked on this and now I hope it will work better.
Please download Version 0.2.?
BOINCPortable_0.2.6.1017
If you find any other Problem, tell me.
Thanks
