Yes and no. BOINC uses space under itself in the directory tree, but in can be installed anywhere you want to install it. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |

In fact you can move your existing directory structure. Just shutdown the running applications by using the File -> Exit from the BOINC Manager pulldown menu. Then copy the BOINC directory (and all subdirectories) to where you would like it. Then change any BOINC icons or shortcuts to point to the new installation directory. And restart. Blue zoo eh?

Thanks for the info. It is not often today to be able to just move a self contained program like the DOS days and have it function without a full reinstall. Everything works fine now with more disk space for it to grow if required. Now to decide if it is worth adding RAM from 512MB to 1G..... Oh, The "BlueZoo" began as a "throwaway" email address that I created one afternoon when the kids were watching a Blue...something cartoon. The yahoo anti spam solution is so effective that I have continued using this address for a number of years. I occassionally get questions about the relavance of this name to some porn related stuff. Nothing that exotic.... |
