<h3>Instructions for beta testers</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
When you install and run the BOINC client,
|
|
|
|
|
it will ask you for a project URL and account key.
|
|
|
|
|
Then it should download two work units,
|
|
|
|
|
process them, upload the results,
|
|
|
|
|
and continue doing this forever.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If at any point BOINC is neither computing nor transferring files,
|
|
|
|
|
something is probably wrong;
|
|
|
|
|
submit a bug report (see below).
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Windows users</b>:
|
|
|
|
|
The BOINC core client (accessable via its system tray icon)
|
|
|
|
|
has tabs that let you see projects, file transfers,
|
|
|
|
|
work in progress, and messages.
|
|
|
|
|
If you experience bugs, look at the file <b>stderr.txt</b>
|
|
|
|
|
in the BOINC directory.
|
|
|
|
|
If it's nonempty please include it in your bug report.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Unix and Mac OS/X users</b>:
|
|
|
|
|
This version of the client has no GUI,
|
|
|
|
|
and writes to stderr and stdout.
|
|
|
|
|
Please include any suspicious-looking text in your bug reports.
