Re: [ydl-gen] install SETI at home on PS3 with UDL6.1 - addendum
Hi Paul: It was very surprising to me to discover that this page suddenly appears blank! http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/List_of_projects_by_system_requirements/ When I originally sent the above link as a response to your query there did exist a table which did fit the description I provided: ... operating system columns please notice that although there is a version of their software running for the PowerPC under the Mac operating system; the software versions they offer is only for x86 or Intel based Linux variants. YDL is a PowerPC based Linux only I can only imagine that someone is editing that page or has removed it for some reason. I have no clue as to why it disappeared. The SETI source which you can download, uncompress, compile and install within YDL is here: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_porting.php/ This page loads normally on my system, within YDL 6.2 on a Powerbook G4. When I went to this page directly it also came up 404. http://www.dotsch.de/boinc/BOINC%20Clients.html/ I haven't studied German since my college days, but 404 is easy to interpret in any language. :-) That 404 appeared is very surprising also; I won't speculate why. Suggestion: Access that server's home page here: http://www.dotsch.de/boinc/Home.html Then click upon BOINC Clients or wherever you believe you need to go. He has done the majority of the work gathering BOINC, SETI and other related apps in one place. All the best...
