ftp://lettuce.edsc.ulst.ac.uk/mirrors/www.mersenne.org/gimps/m
prime2212.tar.gz extract (it creates it's own dir) and run
'mprime-m'  choose 17)  on the menu.
     

Hmm, No core dump at least, that's pleasing, but,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cd /root/Desktop/mprime2212
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mprime2212]# ls
license.txt  mprime2212.tar.gz  readme.txt  whatsnew.txt
local.ini    prime.ini          stress.txt  worktodo.ini
mprime*      prime.log          undoc.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mprime2212]# mprime -m
bash: mprime: command not found
Now that shouldn't happen , according to the readme,as you say
Tom, mprime -m is the correct command. How odd. I think I'll
sleep on it overnight, maybe someone can point where , if at
all, I'm doing something wrong.

   You're in the directory the binary is in. You need to run
'./mprime -m'    And run it as user, not root. The first time 
it'll ask you if you want to connect to the mprime server, say n, 
it won't ask again, and the menu will be displayed, choose 17.
 

So how can I run it as root ?
