I have an older PC I want to use solely for BOINC and some specific project. I installed just the Linux kernel on it (Debian distribution) with no GUI anything. Can I run BOINC command-line?

If so, and to get a streamlined system, what's the best way to go about tweaking-down the kernel to run just BOINC?

Thanks.

All the commands, options, etc. are available there.

Thanks, for some reason I noobed out and missed that page. :)

I use this line on /etc/rc.local to start boinc on boot (below is *one* line)

su boinc -c " cd ; . /etc/profile ; cd BOINC ; ./boinc -redirectio -allow_remote_gui_rpc -return_results_immediately & "

and then use boincview to manage the headless cruchers over the web -or- the lan

If this old pc is slow, say 100-800 mhz
I suggest crunching simap on it

I realized that is ease to meet deadlines
on old/slow pcs with this project ...
*application uses integer arithmetic, not float point
