Instructions for beta testers

+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. +

+If at any point BOINC is neither computing nor transferring files, +something is probably wrong; +submit a bug report (see below). +

+Windows users: +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 stderr.txt +in the BOINC directory. +If it's nonempty please include it in your bug report. +

+Unix and Mac OS/X users: +This version of the client has no GUI, +and writes to stderr and stdout. +Please include any suspicious-looking text in your bug reports. +

+Please report bugs by sending email to the boinc-beta +mailing list on SourceForge.net. +To join this list, go to +http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boinc-beta. +
