linux?

Make sure you remove all the stuff of the Linux distro of your choice. It will increase your ppd.
OR if you dont want to remove stuff
EDIT: /etc/inittab

Make sure the default runlevel is a 3 not a 5.

So how do I do this?

vi/gedit/nano/gvim/kedit, or what ever you use, i use vim so:

# vim /etc/inittab

when you see the line:
id:5:initdefault:
change the 5 to a 3.

Thanks for the reply fumbles, but it might as well be written in Chinese. I am about as big a Linux noob as it is possible to be.

I'm not sure if you do or not - without it the management thingy supposedly is not installed however once I'd found IIS the management thing didn't seem to work anyway

To add IIS you just have to go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components then tick the box next to IIS

To make a new virtual machine you should just need to open the VMware Server Console, select Local Host, then click on New Virtual Machine and the guide posted earlier should explain the rest pretty well

OK..VMWare is working without IIS. I have installed Ubunto. Now where do I type the Following.

mkdir -p ~/folding/FAH
cd ~/folding/FAH
wget http://www.stanford.edu/~kasson/fol...H_SMP_Linux.tgz
tar xzf FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz

tar xzf FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz

those instructions may be out of date - just the wget bit, should be:

wget http://folding.stanford.edu/release/FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz

 

[rincinDub]

Thanks, those instructions were out of date. Now to get FAH running. When I type ./fah5, I get no such file in directory.

 

[Cob]

Is your terminal still at ~/folding/FAH?

If so you may need to go into fah5's properties and allow it to execute as a program.

 

[rincinDub]

My terminal is here.

rincin@ubuntu:~/folding/FAH$ tar xzf FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz

have you done the...

tar xzf FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz

...if not then that'll be why - it's zipped (or whatever the Linux equivalent is)
at least I think so anyway (i'm a huge n00b )

 

[DR_D]

its called a tar ball

 

[Cob]

Did it unzip the FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz file?

*beaten

 

[rincinDub]

Yea, ive clicked on those a few times but Ubunto does not appear to know what to do with them.

 

[rincinDub]

Could not open "FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz.1"

Archive type not supported.

 

[Cob]

Right-click it>Open with Archive Manager and extract it.

 

[rincinDub]

Ive found in my FAH file 2 executable programs

/home/rincin/folding/FAH/mpiexec
/home/rincin/folding/FAH/fah5

neither apear to work. Even after setting them to Execute.


When I right click on my other 2 folders, I get archive type not supported
/home/rincin/folding/FAH/FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz.1
/home/rincin/folding/FAH/FAH_SMP_Linux.tgz.2

 

[Cob]

Close and reopen your terminal and type

cd folding/FAH
./fah5

and see if that starts the client.
