Hokay. Here's the NEW ( ) and IMPROVED ( ) version which hopefully doesn't SUCK D). Just download it, burn it, boot it, answer the questions, and you should be good to go.
Here's the URL:
fold.server.sf.net
Thanks again to Ch1m3r4 for hosting in the past. If you want to mirror, let me know via PM (or email) and I'll include it in this first post. Instructions are included there in a more verbose form. I hope I covered everything there.
Now here come the caveats. It only works on machines with 2 ethernet adapters right now, although I've started adding support for only having one. It'll hopefully be working fully by the next release. The broadcast addresses must be 192.168.1.* for the "external" and 10.*.*.* for the "internal". This will also get fixed.
The server will only run a single copy of FAH, even if there are 2 processors; the clients will run N, where N is how many processors you've got. If you got duallies, leave them as clients and use a single-processor box for the server (odd as that seems).
01/18/05 edit: working on determining whether to turn on big packets on a given machine.
To install, boot the CD and run "/installer". It should be self-explanatory from there except that sometimes it decides to keep the CD drive locked even after reboot; power off and power on if this happens.
After it installs, it gives you a terminal where you're logged in as root. I suggest you take the time to fix anything you know is borken, test your internet, et al.
To get folding itself working:
remount the install CD and copy "/mnt/cdrom/getfold.pl" somewhere and run it. Then run "/tftp/update myroot" to rebuild the client image. Then booting over ethernet should work.
To start vncviewer, type "vncserver". You can go to the "external" ip from your machine to view the status of the boxen, log in via VNC, and eventually other stuff.
Try it if you've got 2 ethernet adapters on your server box. Moetop?
Fold on, brothers!
edit 1: add instructions on how to run the installer. duh.
edit 2: new hosting on SF! w00t!
