Boinc should be completely installed on the USB stick and run from there. At least this was possible with version 5.x. I have this version on a nfs network drive and start it from various computers, which never before had any Boinc installation. We want to place a account_<project>.xml with the weak account key in the Boinc folder. This should be used by Boinc to download WUs from the project and run them. > [3] What is your time frame for having this (i.e., when do you need it)? > We have no special time line for it.
