Would it be possible to include a FAH client on the next DSL package? I jknow of a fair few people who would love this app added to the original disc

www.folding.standford.edu contains folding information

At first I thought they had FOLDED up and left as the link didn't work. But then I was finally redirected. This is another seti like project. I have worked on some of these distributed based systems, javaspaces, and rlinda. I would NOT like to see any of these on the CD. It is GREAT if one chooses to install to HD ans then add whatever they like. Someone has the seti project running. But please keep the default liveCD light and fast.

And I think ITS really ANNOYING when PEOPLE alternate CAPS when TYPING messages and IT makes ME think that the PERSON is a IDIOT!

Gee, what a great contribution, thanks for sharing what YOU really think.

Maybe YOU should look at your own postings. At the bottom. What is it...

well I would really like to have the ability to include the F@H client into my own live CD. Anyone willing to help a noob who has never compiled a kernel in his life?

I value all opinions regarding DSL development, so I'm hoping personality conflicts will be kept off the board and we could keep the DSL forums relevant.

Regarding F@H, it would have to be at the expense of other apps. We are working on making DSL a more complete desktop first. Also, I am not sure if this is a good match for a Live CD, as the system is very impermanent and the lots of data would be lost.

Unfortunately you cant bundle the FAH client in a disk. It must be downloaded. The best thing to do would be to take the "FInstall" script for installing folding at home. Modify it and then put it on the disk. It is really small. I have played with it and it doesnt work right. Perhapse a custom wget script would be the best. I will submit what i come up with soon.
